- The following 11 files are the source code to uemail ST. I have had a
- number of requests for this source and decided to post it to the atari
- group all at once. I decided not to post it to net sources because the
- program has been made so ST specific that I doubt it would have much appeal
- for the mainframe crowd. This editor is based on the original D. G. Conroy
- version that I believe was written about 1978. That version was 27. This
- program was ported to the ST from a CP/M-68K version I made a year ago.
- The original has not been around for some years. One of my instructors
- found the source for me on an old disk he had in his office. All this is a
- round-about way of saying that the ancestry of this version is very
- different from that of most of the current microemaxen. I have tried to
- add some GNU type commands and to make a few of the standard commands work
- the way they do with Vax GNU, but this is not microGNU. It does have an
- aliasing feature and a command interface. I use it as a shell, and never
- see the desktop after startup. I can even connect to remote systems via
- the kermit section (which will be improved once my ordered copy of the
- kermit protocol manual arrives).
-
- I hope people find this code as educational as I have, and I would like to
- thank Mr. Conroy for writing such interesting and useful C. For better or
- worse I taught myself that language with his program as guide. Of course
- there are others whose code appears in this program. Most of them I do not
- know, or know only through the NET. Notable are Richard Stallman whose GNU
- makes teaching writing on the computer much saner than it was before, and
- Jwahar R. Bammi @ Case whose ST code has always been solid.
