One other thing you will find is that if you upgrade your Novell to (in the 
case of Advanced NetWare) v2.1x, MAIL ceases to exist; it's not provided on the
new system. This is a bit of a pain, but not a bad idea (Novell Mail is, in my
and many people at my office's opinion, crap. [Not here at UEA, but a company I
work for in the holidays]. I don't know if there are other MAIL systems 
available for Novell (there's always Coordinator, but that's a bit big if you
only want a simple message passing facility)

Nor do I - if anyone knows PLEASE tell me, cos it'll make my life so much
easier. It must be fairly accessible, cos SYSCON does it at will.

Note : I think Novell mail is pretty awful; you may disagree, but that's only
       my opinion, so don't shout at me or anything like that.
       Also, I doubt whether UEA (my university) share my views; I am not 
       referring to any of their systems in this article, only those of the
       company I work for in the holidays.
