.SH DESCRIPTION
|

|
|
provides the equivalent of
|
|
.BI to(1)

|
|
for the
|
|
.BI to(1)
|
|
command.
|

|
|
.BI write(1)

|
|
for the
|
|
.BI write(1)

.PP
|
|
.BI macwall
|
|

|
|
.BI wall(1)
|
|
for broadcast of messages to users on Macintoshes. Multiple AppleTalk
|
|
zones may be specified.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.BI macmail
|
|
provides the equivalent of
|
|
.BI biff(1)
|
|
for informing Macintosh users that mail has arrived for them on a UNIX machine
|
|
and for passing the important headers of that message to the users' Macintosh.
|
|
.PP
|
|
These commands provide equivalent UNIX functionality to
|
|
"Messages DA" which is used on a Macintosh to lookup users, edit and
|
|
send messages.
|
|
"Messages" is a Macintosh Control Panel document that receives and
|
|
displays short messages. The equivalent UNIX command is macuser(1l).
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
~/.myicon \- the resource fork of a Mac file with an ICON (ID of 1) to be
|
|
sent along with the message (just a little bit of magic here).
|
|
.SH SEE ALSO
|
|
CAP (Columbia AppleTalk Package)
|
|
.br
|
|
macwho(1l) \- list macUsers, see also who(1)
|
|
.br
|
|
macuser(1l) \- Register a Unix user on the AppleTalk network
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Incorrect invocation diagnostics, aka usage: ...
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
1. The messages system was implemented in two parts on the Macintosh
|
|
to allow the use of "Messages DA" to be restricted in a student environment.
|
|
.br
|
|
2. messages are limited to about 550 bytes less 128 for any included ICON.
|
|
.br
|
|
3. If you want to send a message between UNIX users, the syntax is somewhat
|
|
painful. You can use user@host@zone or user%host.
