Alright people, thanks loads to the people who aided me in my memory
problem. Here goes with another one.
I'm using Microport Unix. It doesn't do mail file locking (at least
I can't find it). Emacs wants it to. . .real bad. So bad in fact,
that when I execute rmail, I get the error :
Movemail : error making lockfile
Now, I'm no whiz but that aint good. To top it off, I'm wasting 12 meg
of precious disk space because I am not going to kill gnu only to
bring it back in a week. So, does anyone have any idea how I can
either fake movemail out, or how to get microport to do mail file
locking in a way that movemail will respect?
Tanks (and planes...)
BTW - Just so I don't have to deal with this wgain, is there any other
problem I should expect after this one goes away?
