This system provides a mail delivery facility for VAX/VMX systems.
Users may send letters, read letters from other users, reply to letters
from other users, and forward letters from other users.  The system is
driven from three disk files. [7,7]MAILUSERS.DAT describes the authorized
users of the mail system. [7,7]MAILHEAD.DAT contains header information
for all the messages stored in the system.  [7,7]MAILTEXT.DAT contains
the actual text of the stored messages.
The mail system may be used in two ways.  First, a user may run
this program by saying 'RUN [7,7]MAIL' and deal interactively with the
mail system.  Second, if the user places the run command in his/her
LOGIN.COM file, the mail system will list a summary of the letters
which are waiting to be delivered to the user.
In addition to the this program, there are three other utility
programs in the NRL mail system.  [7,7]CREAUSER is run once to create
the file [7,7]MAILUSERS.DAT. [7,7]CREAHEAD is run once to create the
file [7,7]MAILHEAD.DAT.  [7,7]CREATEXT is run once to create the file
[7,7]MAILTEXT.DAT.  Once these three files have been created on the
system disk, the mail system is ready to use.

.P
MCR PIP [7,7]/UF=TI:

<CTRL> Z
.B
3) Copy the command file [7,7]MAIL.COM in from magtape:
.P

.B
4) Invoke the indirect command file to build the mail system:
.P
@MAIL

This procedure will cause four OBJ files, four EXE files, and three DAT
files to be created under [7,7].  Once the indirect file has completed,
the mail system is ready to run.
