mailcompat(1)							   User Commands						     mailcompat(1)

NAME

       mailcompat - provide SunOS compatibility for Solaris mailbox format

DESCRIPTION

       mailcompat  is  a program to provide SunOS 4.x compatability for the Solaris mailbox format. You would typically run  mailcompat to be able
       to read mail on a workstation running SunOS 4.x when your mail server is running Solaris.

       Enabling mailcompat creates an entry in your  .forward file, if it exists.  If this file does not exist, mailcompat will create	it.   Dis-
       abling mailcompat will remove the entry from the .forward file, and if this was the only entry, will remove the entire file.

       To  execute  mailcompat, log onto the Solaris mail server and enter mailcompat on the command line. Answer the queries provided by the pro-
       gram.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mailcompat when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Examples of the mailcompat feature.

       The following example enables the mailcompat feature for the user "john".

       example% mailcompat
       This program can be used to store your mail in a format
       that you can read with SunOS 4.X based mail readers
       To enable the mailcompat feature a ".forward" file is created.
       Would you like to enable the mailcompat feature? Y
       Mailcompat feature ENABLED.Run mailcompat with no arguments to remove it
       example%

       The following example disables the mailcompat feature for the user "john".

       example% mailcompat
       This program can be used to store your mail in a format
       that you can read with SunOS 4.X based mail readers
       You have a .forward file in your home directory	containing:
	   "|/usr/bin/mailcompat johns"
       Would you like to remove it and disable the mailcompat feature? y
       Back to normal reception of mail.
