This is the 2.5 (USENET) version of the Elm Mail System

Where to find more info on Elm:
   Much discussion on Elm including interim bug fixes, work arounds
and future plans occurs in the Usenet news group comp.mail.elm.  Also
a monthly status report on Elm is posted there.  This status report
lists the archive sites that have the patches to Elm as well as the
latest version.

Patches to Elm are posted to comp.mail.elm and comp.sources.bugs as
soon as they are released.  They are posted to comp.sources.unix shortly
thereafter, to allow time for feedback of problems in the patches.
Patches should be available from the archive sites, or from the
archive server.  Mail archive-server@DSI.COM for details on how to
use the archive server program.  Ask it for help.

In addition, ftp.uu.net maintains a mirror of the Elm release files
in /networking/mail/elm.  Patches are available in that directory
shortly after release.  Other sites also keep mirrors of the Elm
distribution.  There are sites in Europe, Australia, Taiwan and the UK
in addition to several in the US.  Send the message

	send elm elm.ftp

to archive-server@dsi.com for a current list of ftp mirror sites.


Limitations/Problems you might encounter in compiling and installing Elm:

Solaris 2.6:

 You must have /usr/ccs/bin in your PATH.  Elm 2.5 will not
 compile with /usr/ucb/cc, it will work with gcc.
 
 You must say no to using flock().
