} line from sys.s and stuffing it in at the top of lock.c.

EACCESS should be EACCES (only one S) and is in <sys/errno.h>, which
should automatically be included by <errno.h>.  That definition you're
using means nothing useful and could result in file locking errors.
There is a typo in lock.c ... :-(

} only other change I made was to include /usr/include/sys/select.h
} in curs_io.c, so that struct timeval was defined.

Good catch.

} My question is about submit.  Mush appears to be working well with
} one significant exception: when I try to send mail, submit fails with
} a "cannot create text file" error and dumps the outgoing message
} into dead.letter.  Does anyone have any idea what I might do
} to fix this?  I'm using the standard MMDF, as supplied with SCO UNIX.
} (And yes, I added the reference to libmmdf.a to the makefile.)

This is a permissions problem; someone more familiar with it will have
to answer.  However, patch 3 (which will hopefully be small and quick)
will include an alternate compilation for SCO's MMDF to avoid submit.
