I thought that the following is in the standard 1.3a UUCP_BIN:UUCP_SYSTARTUP.COM $ $ ! similarly, install the DECwindows mailer if present. $ $ if (f$search("SYS$SHARE:DECW$MAILSHR.EXE") .EQS. "") THEN GOTO END_INSTALLS $ install replace sys$system:decw$mail.exe/priv=sysprv replace sys$share:decw$ailshr.exe replace sys$share:decw$mailshr.exe exit Or is mine just right thanks to good karma? By the way, DEC did say that the installing DECwindows Mail with SYSPRV is a safe thing to do. --- Tom Tom Allebrandi | Mail guru - DECUS UUCP Development Team Inland Steel Research Labs | Chairperson - VMSnet Working Group, DECUS VAX SIG East Chicago, IN | Internet: allebrandi@inland.com 219 399 6306 | UUCP: ...!uunet!inland!allebrandi | DECUServe: allebrandi
