University of Maryland

FreeBSD byzantine.student.umd.edu 4.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #2: Thu Apr 1 00:29:18 EST 1999 howardjp@byzantine.student.umd.edu:/usr/src/sys/compile/BYZANTINE i386
>Description:
I typed ``message'' the other day at a command prompt and when nothing
happened I realized elm was not installed. So anyway, rather than
installing elm, I patched from(1) so that when given the option -c
it will behave just like message(1L).
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Apply the following patch to /usr/src/usr.bin/from and it will
patch from.c and update from.1 with the needed changes.
