Coding in Elisp beats >writing a sendmail.cf any day... While that would solve some of my problems, it wouldn't be exactly what I'd want to see it do. We've got "ean" (care of ubc.ca), and though ean comes with a nice (I'm told) package for Unipress Emacs, it doesn't work with our version (no "await-process") and most of the users prefer ed to the Unipress version. Has anyone managed to port that (mocklisp) code to function under emacs? (Or gotten emacsclient [which is what I set my editor for ean to] to run across a net? ean refuses to run across the network. We think it might have something to with the variety of SunOS 3.3/3.4 and 3.5 that we have. SunOS 4.0 awaits 4meg boards for the dickless stations.) -- :!mcr!: Michael Richardson Amiga v--------+ UUCP: uunet!attcan!lsuc!nrcaer!julie!mcr | INTERNET mcr@doe.carleton.ca Fido: Michael Richardson @ 1:163/109.10<--+ Alter @ 7:483/109.10
