Ease was posted in comp.sources. and I think there was ;login: article about it. We're talking mid-1980s here. I subsequently added a few features to it, mainly to support features in Sun's sendmail. It's mentioned in Eric's (I think) book about Sendmail from the late 80s or early 90s (and I have a footnote in there, I think). I will see if I can dig up the sources. It would undoubtedly take some work to bring them into the 21st century. Arnold
