The  contents of this directory represent the second distribution of the
Software Tools Mail System.   I  hope  that  I  have  given  you  enough
information  in  the  release notes (release.doc) to permit you to solve
any problems which occur. 

For IAS sites and those RSX-11M[+] sites which do not choose to use  the
new  mail  system, the sources for the previously released utilities can
be found as .tcs archives in UIC [307,37].   Follow  the  directions  in
[307,30]release.doc  to build these utilities, and to install the images
and documentation for general use. 

For those brave souls searching  for  adventure  and  fame,  you  should
continue  directly to release.doc.  I hope that you find the mail system
as useful as we have here at LBL, and that lots of you get into  linking
it up to new and wondrous networks and systems.

P.S. The  only reason that this system will not work on an IAS system is
     that I have no idea how to start  up  daemon  processes  which  can
     create  their  own  sub-tasks.  All three of the delivery processes
     are of this type.  If any IAS system folks can  figure  it  out,  I
     would  be  more  than happy to distribute such software with future
     releases.
