- Well Alan, It really depends on the Elm was compiled. Your System
- Administrator may have compiled Elm with the System Name Compiled
- into it. There is however an option in the config.h file, if your
- system supports the uname() System Call you can use that option
- instead of hard coding the System name.
-
- The only way you can change the address so that it knows that it is
- avatar is by having your System Administrator fix the code to know
- who it is.
