Don't you just hate it when a package has a new update every few _hours_? 

Release 2.21 is primarily a bug-fixing release:
 
o	The POP mail ID instead of the user's login ID was being used as the
	argument to the mail delivery agent.  Much bounced mail resulted.
	
o	Leftover inline parameter declarations in socket.c have been replaced
	with K&R style defines.
	
The 2.21 release is available via anonymous ftp from csugrad.cs.vt.edu as
/pub/popclient-2.21.tar.gz.

A handful of BSD-Net2 and NetBSD users have reported problems determining 
the correct mail delivery agent to use in config.h.  This can easily
be determined by taking a look at the system's sendmail.cf (usually 
/etc/sendmail.cf).  The one or two lines which describe the local mailer
look something like:

	Mlocal,		P=/bin/mail, F=lsDFMrmn, S=10, R=20/40,
			A=mail -d $u

P=/bin/mail indicates that MDA_PATH should be defined as "/bin/mail".
A=mail -d $u indicates that MDA_ALIAS should be defined as "mail" and
MDA_ARGS should be defined as "-d $u".  In the future, I hope to have some
sort of cutesy Configure script to figure all of this stuff out. 

To my knowledge, this version should compile cleanly and run nicely on

	Ultrix 4.2A, 4.3, 4.3A
	DEC/OSF1 1.x, 2.x
	SunOS 4.x  (thanks to Scott and Mitch)
	AIX 3.2.x
	Linux 0.9, 1.0
	NetBSD 0.9

I still haven't seen/heard about a Solaris port, but it should go fairly
smoothly.  If someone has done (or will do) this, please let me know.
