Yes, we use elm internally here at LCC, although I was not the one
who built it so I don't know how difficult it was to port. The biggest
problem with an older version of the code which I did port (although its
been so long ago I don't remember any specifics) was that AIX uses the
.newmail mailbox in the user's home, whereas that version of the elm
code expected the usual '/usr/spool/mail/userid'.

Descriptions such as this are useless, what do you mean? Does the compile
fail here, and if so what specifically is the error? Or does the binary
get an error in this code? Be a bit more detailed and perhaps someone can
help.
