Now I AM puzzled.  We've got a number of HP machines here, currently running
HP-UX 6.5 (they're pretty much exclusively 350s & 360s).  I was providing
a friend with some X software, including xbiff.  He tried it; xbiff displayed
its icon, but didn't notify him of incoming mail.  I tried poking around
the HP environment, and can't find any mention of comsat, the program from
which xbiff would get its notification.  Why NOT?  It seems pretty silly
to provide mailx, but not comsat.  Is it available in HP-UX 7.0?
	Sigh.  Thanks for any help...
