(rfc 821 / 822 headers). I'm opting to - write it from scratch in order to take advantage of some - OS/2's features. Such as multi threaded, and dynamic - loading libraries. (other reasons also include the some unix - functions which don't work well on OS/2. Like fork() ). You would probably do better basing your work on 'smail'. This wonderful program seems to work on every unix system ever sold. Smail is a contribution(?) of the network mapping project. You can pick up a copy of smail source from almost any archive site. I understand that smail 3.0 is intended to be a replacement for sendmail. Release 3.0 is presently in either alpha or beta test. -- Ed Clarke uunet!bywater!acheron!clarke
