Description

Elm is a screen oriented editory that can be used instead of mailx, or scomail to read/send mail.

Productivity

This program is much, much better than mailx for handling mail. Unlink scomail, it can be run on non-X based terminals.

Safety

This software is very widely distributed and used. Also, I am part of the ELM development team and am very familiar with the code. It is used by many people at SCO Canada.

Work Planned

Elm 2.4 is frozen. There might be one more patch release some time in the future, but effectively it is done at PL24. Elm 3.0, if it happens at all, won't be available until late 1995 at the earliest.

Documentation

Manual pages. Also formatted user manuals, can be found in postscript format in the doc subdirectory.

Verification

Just type "elm".
