Change this to .....("bifflex | mail -f BIFFSNOT.HER > /dev/null", "w");

And now you need a program called "bifflex" somewhere in your path which
will correct your grammar and spelling for you. Well, bless my cotton socks,
I just happen to have such a thing! It works like a dream. Unpack the
following zumfy little proglet and type "make".

#	This is a shell archive.
#	Remove everything above and including the cut line.
#	Then run the rest of the file through sh.
#-----cut here-----cut here-----cut here-----cut here-----
#!/bin/sh
# shar:	Shell Archiver
#	Run the following text with /bin/sh to create:
#	Makefile
#	biff.l

cat << \SHAR_EOF > Makefile
bifflex:	biff.l
		lex biff.l
		cc -O -s -o bifflex lex.yy.c -ll
		rm lex.yy.c
SHAR_EOF
cat << \SHAR_EOF > biff.l
