Hello,

   I built emacs 18-58 on my hp730 workstation, which runs hpux 8.07,
and I used src/s-hpux8.h , as directed by the etc/MACHINES file.  This
".h" file is just a slight modification to s-hpux7.h .  The mail lock-
ing mechanism selected here is to make a lockfile in /usr/spool/mail ,
which DOESN'T exist on these hp machines.  Instead, mail arrives in
/usr/mail/ .  My rmail-spool-directory is set correctly to /usr/mail/,
but I am unable to use rmail to read my mail.

   Can you suggest a fix?  Is this a mistake in the s-hpux7.h file?

                                             Thank you,
                                             Howard Nebeck
