     I am still not having any luck with getting Smail 2.5 running on
V/386. As I mentioned before, I have it running fine on Sys V/AT and I
simply recompiled the source on V/386. It compiled clean but doesnt work
properly. If I simply use mailx to send " mailx john" I get:

/bin/rmail: illegal option  --s
valid flags are  cdvArRiLH......

     I get the same error when trying to use "elm john".  If I simply
use /bin/mail as in  "mail john", this works fine.

     I'm not sure why Smail is working on Sys V/AT and not on V/386.
I've checked everything I can think of and am coming up blank. This
single program is keeping the 386 off the USENET link. If anyone has Smail
running on V/386 and can offer some suggestions I'd be happy to hear
from you. Thanks.
