NAME
      mailcompat - provide SunOS compatibility for Solaris mailbox
      format
 


DESCRIPTION
      mailcompat is a program to provide SunOS  4.x  compatability
      for  the  Solaris  mailbox  format.  You would typically run
      mailcompat to be able to read mail on a workstation  running
      SunOS 4.x when your mail server is running Solaris.
 
      Enabling mailcompat creates an entry in your  .forward file,
      if  it exists.  If this file does not exist, mailcompat will
      create it.  Disabling mailcompat will remove the entry  from
      the  .forward  file,  and  if  this was the only entry, will
      remove the entire file.
 
      To execute mailcompat, log onto the Solaris mail server  and
      enter  mailcompat  on  the  command line. Answer the queries
      provided by the program.
 
 USAGE
      See largefile(5) for the  description  of  the  behavior  of
      mailcompat  when encountering files greater than or equal to
      2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
