TkMH, version 1.0b2
                        (November 20, 1993)


This is an interface for the Mailing system MH. I have been using MH
and Xmh for quite a while now, but I never really was satisfied about
Xmh. So when I got my hands on tcl/tk, I decided to make a different
interface. In the beginning I was planning on keeping it simple, just
for personal use, but other people got interested, and while I was
programming, I added more and more features. I think it is in a stage
now that it can be distributed out into the world, for people to try 
it.

TkMH has been written using tcl7.0 and tk3.3. It has been tested on 
DECstation 5000 model 200, ULTRIX 4.2a, MH 6.7.1
DECstation 2100, ULTRIX 4.2a, MH 6.7.1

To install TkMH:

  #	Edit the Makefile and the file tkmh.rc.

  #	type make install:
  	This will install an executable tkmh in the bin directory you 
  	chose and install the library and help files in a subdirectory 
  	called tkmh from the libdir you chose. It will also install a
  	little tool I wrote to convert elm folders to mh folders, when 
  	I started using MH. If you don't want this installed, then
  	remove the entry 'elm2mh' after the 'all:' rule in the Makefile.

  #	type tkmh, and try it
  
  #	If you want to try before installing, edit the Makefile so that 
        the libdir points to the ./lib, and the file tkmh.rc. 
        Type 'make all', change the variable 'tkmh_lib' in the executable
        tkmh to 'lib'. Type ./tkmh.


WARNING!
This is a beta release, it has only been tested on my machine, a
DECstation 5000 model 200 running ULTRIX 4.2a, using tcl 7.0, tk3.3 and
MH6.7.1. If you plan to test it, you should back up your Mail directory
first! There shouldn't be any danger, but you never know.....

If you get it up and running on your system, I would be delighted to know.
I also would like to hear any suggestions, remarks or comments. Read the 
file TODO to see what I already thought of myself.
