That is right.  With Xenix version, I have little problem with Function
keys but this work perfect for Xenix and SCO Unix 3.2.


NOW.. after recieving many mails from usenet and compuserve, I decide to
follow guy from Hawaii to delete all ISC mail junks: mail, mailx,
sendmail and lmail etc etc.  I install smail3 (I used from Karl's for
AKCS) and Elm and these work perfect but I am using /usr/spool/mail
instead of /usr/mail.  I used Xenix mail in too.   Now ACKS is back to
work on order!!   Guy from Hawaii is using Smail 2.5 package and this is
still good, even it is not working with AKCS.   Sendmail is popular
package for TCP/IP and I am using this for my work on DEC networking.  I
don't understand ISC is making another errors on installation, like what
ISC did last time with asy problem.

I warn you that I heard that ISC is working on next version using POSIX
standard and C1 Security and these may be another SCO Unix headache!!
C1 Security makes chat program disabled.

Thanks!

p.s.  All Thanks to all usenet people for sending mail to me and I give
you a very Merry Christmas and Happy 1990.
