Well, just follow these instructions: 1) save each article without the header as a file called send? where ? corresponds to the part of the whole that article is (send1 send2 send3 send4 send5) 2) edit each of the articles with your favorite editor and delete all lines above ------------cut here------------ and the lines of my .signature 3) cat the files together into one file (or use an editor) so that you now have a single file about 293000 characters long with the first line reading begin 644 sendmail and the last line reading end 4) uudecode the file with the command "uudecode " 5) put this new sendmail in /usr/lib as sendmail 6) cross your fingers and hope the virus doesn't get you. Disclaimer: SGI knows nothing about my doings except that I show up to work each day for at least 40 hours a week. These postings are no exception, and if they don't save you from the virus, well I told you to disconnect your machine from all networks to be really safe, didn't I. -- BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
