We inadvertently released the dbm files in `contrib/andrew/overhead/libmail/'. (The copies in `server/os/hpux' are not ours -- did someone else make the same mistake?) The contents of these files are not needed by any of the released programs. > If you don't have an ATT V7 (or greater) source license, you should > (legally anyway) remove those files from your system Unfortunately, if you just delete those 2 files your next build will run into trouble, because the files are mentioned in Makefile's. We have just released patch files to MIT that will zap the contents of the 2 files. The announcement of these patches will appear soon on the `info-andrew-bugs' mailing list (send requests for subscription to `info-andrew-bugs-request@andrew.cmu.edu). Sorry for the sloppiness. Rick: thanks for noticing & bringing it to our attention. Jonathan Rosenberg Manager, Andrew Message System Group
