   Exactly!  The only reason MH needs a patch to run on Linux is because
   it mucks about inside the FILE structures, something I consider a
   MAJOR kludge.

i'd love for mh to use sfio, or something, instead of using <stdio.h>
functions.  then someone could 'fix' m_getfld.c -- but only if they
don't lose it's speed.

this would be a big but cool change for mh.

oh, and if the less in the distribution _isn't_ removed, it should
at least be upgraded.  it's only 113 revisions behind  :)
