TkMH, version 1.1 (December 1993) This is an (THE) interface for the Mailing system MH. I have been using MH and Xmh for quite a while now, but I never really was satisfied about Xmh. So when I got my hands on tcl/tk, I decided to make a different interface. In the beginning I was planning on keeping it simple, just for personal use, but other people got interested, and while I was programming, I added more and more features. I released it to the PD net, so other people can enjoy it too. TkMH has been tested on: DECstation 5000 model 200, ULTRIX 4.2a, tcl 7.0/tk 3.3, MH 6.7.1 DECstation 2100, ULTRIX 4.2a, tcl 7.0/tk 3.3, MH 6.7.1 SUN Sparc ELC, SunOS 4.1.3 HP 9000/700, HPUX 8.05/7, tcl 7.1/tk 3.4, MH 6.8 Solbourne, OS/MP 4.1A.3 - tcl 7.0/tk 3.4 To install TkMH: 1) Edit the Makefile and the file tkmh.rc. 2) If you want to try before installing, type: make test. 3) type: make install This will install an executable tkmh in the bin directory you chose and install the library and help files in a subdirectory called tkmh from the libdir you chose. It will also install a little tool I wrote to convert elm folders to mh folders, when I started using MH. If you don't want this installed, then remove the entry 'elm2mh' after the 'all:' rule in the Makefile. 4) type 'tkmh', and try it If you get it up and running on your system, I would be delighted to know. I also would like to hear any suggestions, remarks or comments you have. In the file TODO I have included my own suggestions to improve the program.
