MH shouldn't be much of a problem... if it is, blame A/UX.  I'm running it
under System V and under Xenix (modulo compiler botch), and even compiled it
under System III.  I find it hard to imagine that A/UX could be worse than
that....

Maybe the person doing this is the one with the problem, not A/UX.

So where does one get tcsh source (as opposed to tcsh patches for csh source
that (last I heard) was still to be considered under AT&T copyright)?

Why bother, unless Apple gratuitously decided not to provide lp?
