My (trivial) modifications to these programs add the "biff b" feature found in some other UNIX variants. In this mode, only a couple of BEL characters are sent to the user's terminal, signifying new mail without disturbing the display. The group execute bit on the user's tty device is used to signify whether biff b is in effect. I can't commit this feature because I don't have the privs, but my diffs are attached ... Andrew J.
