  The reason I didn't mail to you directly is because "ncr-sd.SanDiego.NCR.COM"
is not in our host name tables and the mailer failed to send to your optional
address when I went through the local gateway to UUCP.


   Well, I've gotten literally 20 or so requests about MACH so I think its
worth posting this.

  The person to contact here at CMU about MACH distribution is Debra Lynn.

		A little information
		====================

  MACH is 4.3BSD compatible and binary compatible on Vaxen.  If I get
permission I will post the intro to the reference manual.  As for the
IOCALL benchmark, I haven't ran it so I can't give anyone any numbers.
if someone posts it again I'll run it on a Micro Vax and a Vax 8800.
