Contains utility files for the `configure' process. Ordinarily nothing in
here needs to be messed with.
-doc/
+docs/
Contains more specialized documentation, such as this file and
the FAQ.
Contains all the input files that are processed to generate nmh's manual
pages.
-mts/
- "mts" stands for "Message Transfer Service". Source files specific to the
- different MTSs go in the subdirectories.
-
-mts/mmdf/ (deprecated)
- "mmdf" stands for "Multichannel Memorandum Distribution Facility". It is an
- alternative to sendmail used primarily on SCO UNIX.
-
-mts/sendmail/ (deprecated: handled by mts.conf)
- When nmh is configured --with-mts=sendmail, the files in this directory are
- used.
-
-mts/smtp/
- When nmh is configured to just talk to an SMTP server over TCP/IP, the
- source in this directory is compiled.
-
sbr/
"sbr" stands for "subroutine(s)". For the most part, each source file in
this directory contains a single function with the same name as the source
<command>sbr.c which contains additional subroutines called from <command>.c
(which would contain not much else besides main()).
-zotnet/ (deprecated)
- Files in this hierarchy were either written by or moved here by UCI
- (University of California, Irvine) after they took over MH from the Rand
- Corporation. "Zot!" is the sound effect made by the anteater in the "B.C."
- comic strip when its tongue lashes out at ants. The anteater is UCI's
- official mascot. Not sure whether UCInet was once called ZotNet...
-
-zotnet/bboards/ (deprecated)
- UCI added Bulletin Board functionality to MH with the `bbc' command. This
- functionality has been removed from nmh but apparently files in this
- directory are still needed for other purposes.
-
-zotnet/mf/ (deprecated, now in sbr/)
- "mf" stands for "Mail Filter". The filtering in this case apparently refers
- to translation between different address and mailbox formats.
-
-zotnet/mts/ (deprecated, now in sbr/)
- MTS code not specific to any single MTS apparently goes here.
-
-zotnet/tws/ (deprecated, now in sbr/)
- "tws" apparently stands for "time with structure", a rather odd phrase.
- This directory used to be the place for date and time manipulation code, but
- currently nothing in here is compiled. There are new, more portable
- versions of the key files in h/ and sbr/, and this directory will soon go
- away completely.
