I sent email but cs.umn.edu is refusing smtp connections.

This is a shar file that will allow you to build a working in.comsat
on SunOS 4.1. I just verified that it compiled and linked on a 4.1.1
system, but I don't have the access needed to test it there.

Enjoy,

How to build a working SunOS 4.1 in.comsat.
X
1) Get the source for comsat from ftp.uu.net:/bsd-sources/libexec/comsat
2) Get paths.h from ftp.uu.net:/bsd-sources/include
3) Apply these diffs with patch(1) to the Makefile and paths.h
4) Type 'make'.
X
The strerror.c is from the C news source. Thanks to Henry Spencer and
Geoff Collyer for this.
