     On [344,40] a version of ARC MAIL is supplied which is identical to the
last release of Mark Johnson's.  It is supplied in .OLB form only, and only
for user convenience of trying to collect significantly important programs 
for managing a large multiuser system into one place.  The sources are included 
here so that users not having past DECUS tapes will be able to get them.  The MAIL
utility is an excellent example of a user providing the RSX community with a very
sophisticated and versitale program.  This utility has been in active use at
KMS for over two years.  It is so good that the RSX11M PLUS kit includes it as 
part of its standard(but unsupported) distribution.  I encourage users to build it
and use it and just maybe to write off a short note to Mark Johnson to say 'thanks'.

For use with our system accounting package we have made a slight modification to
the way in which MAI... tracks down a user to see if he/she is on the system.
MAI... first looks for the correct UIC.  If the correct UIC is not found it
scans the terminal UCB's to find a terminal using the correct account number.
If the correct account number is found, that terminal is notified that a letter
has been set to him/her. Enabling this feature is done by setting ACCNUM=1 via a
global patch.

THERE STILL EXISTS A SLIGHT BUG!! in this program.  At the time that it was
written, GTSK only returned the task default UIC(not the protection UIC).  On a 
multi-user protection RSX11M system you should examine the code in MAIOPN.MAC
to find where GTSK$ is used.  Change the code which is getting the group and
member UIC to correctly reflect the existance of the correct(LOGIN UIC) in
word 17(octal) of the GTSK buffer.  I would normally make this bug fix but
I just found out about the bug at the Fall DECUS meeting.  This tape has to
go out today and I would rather not muck around with an otherwise terrific
program unless I have sufficient time to test it.

Finally, have fun.	Jim Downward
