This applies to the 7.0.1 distribution of 13 Dec, on HPUX 9000/3xx
running 6.5 or 7.0.
A) The distributed Mushrc sets ALT_DEF_RC to /usr/lib/Mail.rc,
which doesn't exist in HPUX {6.5,7.0}. Instead, HPUX has
/usr/lib/mailx/mailx.rc which could be used.
B) I think it is common (certainly is here) for HPUX to put its
mail in /usr/mail rather than /usr/spool/mail; if so, it would be nice
if this was ifdef'ed or otherwise automatically dealt with.
C) The performance doesn't seem real good. Mush was compiled w/
6.5 cc & optimization on. It consistently takes over a minute
to open a mailbox with ~500 message in it (NFS file system) on
an HP-370. It does seem to work, however. A diskless 3/60 takes
less than 10 seconds to open this same mailbox, using the same rc
files &c. If you know the 2 machines, this is quite a drastic
performance turn-around. Anyone experienced this? Any ideas?
