Well, If you got a tape from UCI, you should have gotten one hardcopy
of the manuals.  Look in your mh-6.6/ source tree, and you'll fine the
tutorial and "realwork" paper in the papers/ directory.  The manual
itself is in the doc directory in [nt]roff format.

The realwork paper was also part of the June 1985 USENIX (Portland,
Oregon) conference proceedings.

If you can't generate hardcopy of these manuals yourself, you'll have
to order the distribution from us.  Sorry, I can't supply printed copies
alone.

				  MH 6.6

    (This is a maintenance release of MH 6.5.)
    There are a lot of changes between MH.6 and MH 6.6; a lot of
    performance enhancements were made, there's also a lot of support
    for distributed mail (personal mail and bulletin bboards).

    Here are the details:

	- MH is in the public-domain
	- MH runs on a number of versions of UNIX (4.[123]BSD, V7, SYS5, and
	  related variants, e.g., HPUX) [sorry, no support for SYS3.]
	- MH runs on top of a number of mail transport systems
	  (MMDF-{I,II}, SendMail, stand-alone (with UUCP support))

    Although MH is not "supported" per se, it does have a bug-reporting
    address, Bug-MH@ICS.UCI.EDU.  Bug reports (and fixes) are welcome, by
    the way.  There are also two ARPA Internet discussion groups:
    MH-Users@ICS.UCI.EDU and MH-Workers@ICS.UCI.EDU (somewhat analogous in
    charter to Info-UNIX and UNIX-Wizards).

    There are two ways to get a distribution:

    1.  If you can FTP to the ARPA Internet, use anonymous FTP to
    ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1] and retrieve the file pub/mh-6.6.tar.Z.
    This is a tar image after being run through the compress program
    (approx 1.5MB).

    2.  You can send $75 to the address below.  This covers the cost of
    a magtape, handling, and shipping.  In addition, you'll get a
    laser-printed hard-copy of the entire MH documentation set.  Be sure
    to include your USPS address with your check.  Checks should be made
    payable to

		Regents of the University of California

    and must be drawn on U.S.  funds.  It's also a good idea (though not
    mandatory) to send a computer mail message to "Bug-MH@ICS.UCI.EDU" when
    you send your check via USPS to ensure minimal turn-around time.
    The distribution address is:

	Support Group
	Attn: MH distribution
	Department of Information and Computer Science
	University of California, Irvine
	Irvine, CA  92717

	714/856-7553

    Sadly, if you just want the hard-copies of the documentation, you
    still have to pay the $75.00.  The tar image has the documentation
    source (the manual is in roff format, but the rest are in TeX
    format).
