- There's a new directory called pub/mh/contrib on ftp.ics.uci.edu (now
- 128.195.1.1, but that may change). It's a place for scripts (shell,
- perl, etc.), format files, and other useful MH stuff contributed by
- users. John Romine set it up. I put some scripts in there; you
- can add more.
-
- Although I don't know the policy of U.C. Irvine or ICS, it's safe to
- say that they don't support the files in the archive or guarantee that
- they'll do what you want. Use at your own risk, etc.
-
- I've agreed to accept contributions from people and put them into the
- archive every month or so. Mail to jerry@ora.com. To start, I'm going
- to try to do a little filtering, to weed out stuff that MH can already
- handle. For instance, if someone sends a script that uses "grep" to
- find messages, and the MH "pick" command can do the same thing, I'll
- probably send it back with an explanation. I won't be very picky,
- though. I *won't* test contributions thoroughly or "approve" them.
- Send me contributions, comments, flames, etc. Thanks.
