NAME
     mailcompat - provide SunOS compatibility for Solaris mailbox
     format

DESCRIPTION
     mailcompat is a program to provide SunOS  4.x  compatability
     for  the  Solaris  mailbox  format.  You would typically run
     mailcompat to be able to read mail on a workstation  running
     SunOS 4.x when your mail server is running Solaris.

     Enabling mailcompat creates an entry in your  .forward file,
     if  it exists.  If this file does not exist, mailcompat will
     create it.  Disabling mailcompat will remove the entry  from
     the  .forward  file,  and  if  this was the only entry, will
     remove the entire file.

     To execute mailcompat, log onto the Solaris mail server  and
     enter  mailcompat  on  the  command line. Answer the queries
     provided by the program.

USAGE
     See largefile(5) for the  description  of  the  behavior  of
     mailcompat  when encountering files greater than or equal to
     2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
