Message-ID: <2207@hplabsc.HP.COM> Date: Fri, 10-Jul-87 14:59:58 EDT Article-I.D.: hplabsc.2207 Posted: Fri Jul 10 14:59:58 1987 Date-Received: Sun, 12-Jul-87 12:23:46 EDT Sender: daemon@hplabsc.HP.COM Reply-To: taylor@hpldat (Dave Taylor) Organization: Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Multimedia Interface Department Lines: 18 Approved: taylor@hplabs (with 'postmail') Just perusing the documentation for the 'filter' program and noticed that there are two problems with the examples given: 1. you'll need to specify what directory the filter program is in for the ".forward" file entry, 2. there ain't no guarantees that the $HOME in the ".forward" file is going to expand correctly either... Sooo... You'll need to change the examples to stuff like: "|/usr/local/bin/filter -vl > /users/joe/.filter_errors" and it'll have better results. -- Dave --
