1/15    When I try to run pgp5, it says: Invoked with unknown symlink. ???
        \_ and I cannot ask elm to use pgp5 for that reason.
           \_ ls -l `which pgp`; ls -l ~/.pgp
              check to make sure that any symbolic links aren't broken.
             \_ I played around and realize that pgp5 checks under which
                symbolic name it was invoked to perform the approriate
                function, unlike pgp ver. 2.  However, this makes it
                impossible for elm to use it, and thus I cannot use
                DSS key with elm.  Any solution?
                \_ use mutt
                   \_ Does the mutt on soda support PGP5?
                   \_ Does mutt on soda support PGP5?  It does not seem so.
                \_ Well, you could try creating the symlinks to the
                   pgp binary yourself.  If you need to, you could always
                   create them in ~yourhome/bin and add that to your path
                   to make them easy to get at.  If the pgp binary expects
                   to be invoked through a symlink, then why not let it?
                   \_  Well, I think elm invokes pgp using options rather
                        than symlink.  pgp2 and pgp5 command formats are
                        not compatiable.

3/10    What email program do people in Cal CS use nowadays?  In my school days
        people used /usr/bin/mail, then RMail in emacs, then VMail in emacs.
        After my days people used Elm, Pine, Mutt (I forgot which order).  In
        my first two jobs we could tell the seniority of fellow engineers based
        on which email program they use at work, because everyone used what
        they used to use in their school years.  In my last two jobs though,

4/17    Is IMAP up?  If not, how can I get pine/mutt to read my new
        maildir-based mail folder?
        \_ Pine and mutt both have native maildir support -- they should be
           able to access your inbox without any special configuration.  You
           can also use IMAP if you want, but only the secure version (imaps),
           Let me know if these aren't working for you.  --mconst

        My question is how do stories like this find its way to news media?  Do
        people just go "hey something very interesting happens in our lives.
        Let's call up a news agency or two to tell the world about it."?

8/18    Is it possible to truncate your path name in your prompt in tcsh?
        Tsch veterans REPRESENT!  I know this is how to do it in bash:
        # truncate path: returns $1 truncated to $2 chars, prefixed with ...
        truncate_path () {

8/18    Hi again, new freebsd guy here again, in bash I was able to go
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/foo/lib ./runmyapp
        I managed to do this in tcsh by using setenv in a shell script
        that setenv's the lib path and then executes $1, just wondering
        if there was a way to do it in 1 line from the cmd line as in bash?
        Thanks, btw %2c or %3c worked.  Freebsd, tcsh and vi forever!
