Annotation of researchv10dc/cmd/post/README, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: This is a hacked-down version of Post 4.0 for Research Unix systems.
        !             2: You don't get mailx source (who wants it anyway?) or upas source
        !             3: (you have it already).
        !             4: 
        !             5: It installs in /usr/bin:
        !             6:        pq      the post query program
        !             7:        post    post interface for mailers and trivia; usage is:
        !             8:                -S      to send an update to the directory
        !             9:                -D      for directory tidbits (pretty silly)
        !            10:                -x      called from upas/rewrite to hook into mail
        !            11:                otherwise, it just execs /bin/mail
        !            12: 
        !            13: In /usr/lib/post:
        !            14:        dispatch  list of addresses of the post servers; used by pq and post
        !            15:        update  -S shell script
        !            16:        dbinfo  -D shell script
        !            17: 
        !            18: The contents of "rewrite" should be put in /usr/lib/upas/rewrite,
        !            19: usually near the top, depending on how your upas is set up.
        !            20: You can send mail by name (or any query), but by not using mailx,
        !            21: you don't get the interactive resolution script in case you get
        !            22: a name wrong.  You'll get some mail back instead, assuming you have
        !            23: the newer upas with the post tweak that sends stderr back instead of
        !            24: "broken translate".
        !            25: 
        !            26: Contact Michael.Scott.Baldwin to shower praise, make death threats, whatever.
