Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 11 It has been my experience that it is insufficient to check the return value of fputs() when writing to NFS file systems. We've lost several folders here because that's all mush does and because our NFS file servers are chronically full. One really needs to check the return value of fclose() (I haven't seen it fail yet) before telling the user his mail is safely written to disk. I've added code to do that in copyback(). Fletcher
