		       smail/PC 2.5 Source Distribution
			README file by Stephen C. Trier
			   Version 1.0b3 of smail/PC


     This is the source code for smail/PC 2.5.  The archive files that are here
are meant to be uncompressed into separate directories on your hard disk for
each.  The UUPC directory contains another archive; uncompress it into its own
directory within the UUPC directory.  The source archive contains different
material than the binary archive; you will probably need the binaries if you
want to use smail instead of just reading the code!  :-)

     Makefiles for Turbo C 2.0 are provided for all of the programs.  The
makefiles assume that the files are arranged in the directory tree suggested by
the archives.  Also, the make clean and make clobber options assume the
availability of a UNIX-style rm command.  Change these to del commands if you
would like to use clean and clobber but do not have a UNIX-style rm.

     Please see the file "contacts" in the doc directory for e-mail addresses
of the authors.  PC-specific information should be directed to Stephen Trier;
other requests should go to the uucp-query and uucp-problems addresses.

     Unfortunately, I do not have the source to any pathalias-like program that
works under MS-DOS.  Therefore, I can't include it.  If someone would like to
write such a program, please do so.  (Hint, hint) Please note that smail can be
interfaced to many different mail packages, as long as three conditions are
met:
	1) The package must understand and generate RFC-822-compliant mail.
	2) The package can call an outside mailer with the mail as standard
	   input and the addresses on the command line.
	3) A version of lmail exists that can put incoming mail in a format
	   compatible with your program.

     lmail is surprisingly simple to write; you should be able to replace it
with ease.

     If you make any changes or improvements, please let me know.  Also, please
note that the contents of the doc, smail, and passwd archives are 100% free
public domain software.  The contents of the uupc archive is copyrighted, but
free distribution is permitted.  Also, please note that I am unable to include
the source to Mush for reasons of size.  You should be able to obtain that from
the same people who gave you smail/PC.
