Here are patches for 7.2.0 (I'll send out 7.2.2 just as soon as
I have time to build it...) for SCO Unix to use execmail rather 
than submit, and fix the locking problem with EACCES(S). You
will need to add -DSCOUNIX to your makefile. Sorry if these aren't
in exact patch format, but they are two context diffs, and small ones.
