In article <8805281715.AA10592@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU>, BARBE@sdr.slb.COM ("Claude

Logical Mail Forwarding.  In the process, he states:

This "foreign mail interface" sounds like it could be the solution to some 
programming questions I've been pondering lately.  Can anyone give me any
information about this (the more detailed the better).  Looking at system 
microfiche is NOT an option, nor is looking at manuals beyond the standard
Vax/VMS document set.  (I.e., this is a college environment, and the manage-
ment is justifiably sensitive to what manuals are racked in the "public ac-
cess" rooms.)

Thanks in advance.
