Porters... I report SUCCESS (with a lot of help from y'all)
As soon as I moved the new hypermail binary to the src directory of the
hypermail tree and executed as I used to do on the Linux system, it
worked -- no problems at all. I brought the entire hypermail tree over
to the mac from the linux machine, with all the config and mail files,
and it played beautifully. It was Brian's comments about hypermail not
having anything to chew on which triggered the idea of putting it back
in the src directory of the hypermail tree.
I want to thank everyone who took the time to be patient with a 77 year
old fool, who is trying to learn a few new tricks. I did learn to use
MacPorts which was an adventure in itself.
The ticket on this can be removed with my apologies. MacPorts works best
when you know what your doing <g>.
Thanks again,
jerome

I think it's somewhat different than 'waiting for a mailbox file'.
I'm very new to MacPorts, and had a bit of trouble figuring out
what I was doing. But it's starting to sink in.
Having dug up some docs, it does look like to work as a filter it
needs the -i parameter so that's not it.
It occurs to me now that the binary that was generated needs to be
returned to its original environment surrounded by all the support
files that it needs to run. I did not do that; I just executed
the binary, period, and so it sat -- what else could it do?
I would expect an error message in that case, not sitting there
looking dumb.
Are you the same Brandon Allerby that did the original early work
on Jnos?
Mmm, I'd call that a slight misstatement (now, if you mean the Linux
port thereof...), but yes. Been a few years though. >.>
