- A number of people have mailed to tell me that NextMail simply updates
- the table_of_contents file. This I already knew but I need more details.
- Can someone in the know tell me about the layout of this file
- and/or EXACTLY what is done during the undelete command (ie: is it
- really updated or is a new file created? is it a holey fil? what is
- the structure of the file? is file locking used and if so what kind? etc).
-
- I would really like to determine what is happening to my Iris (it
- crashes because of an `Undelete' request from an NFS mounted NeXT)
- and the first order of business is to figure out what exactly is
- *supposed* to happen (and then try to figure out what IS happening).
-
- Thanks to those who have already sent me mail (too numerous to
- mention), although there was no new information given to me I
- appreciate the effort.
