This is hap, a mail notification program, meant to substitute for biff
on those computers that don't have it, and to offer utility above and
beyond biff's on those computers that do.  

Unlike biff, hap lets you choose how often to be notified of new mail
and how much you want to be told about each piece of mail, and, if the
appropriate terminal support is there, tries to damage the other
contents of the screen as little as possible.  Also unlike biff,
hap runs as a background user process rather than relying, as biff
does, on the presence of a system daemon.

For information on what has been added to each version of hap, see
the file HISTORY.

Currently you can send me e-mail, including bug reports, at either of
these addresses:

	etaoin@uchicago.edu	eric@rainbow.uchicago.edu

If neither address works and you still want to get in touch with me,
you can send ordinary postal mail to

	Eric Fischer
	5759 N. Guilford Ave.
	Indianapolis, IN 46220 USA

Hap may be freely distributed under the terms of the GNU public license.


To compile hap, you need to do

	configure         (to create Makefile)
	make              (to create hap)
	make install      (to put it in /usr/local/bin)

Configure should be able to figure out what flavor of computer you have
and set things appropriately.  Previous versions have been tried on
SunOS, NeXTSTEP, Linux, Irix, Solaris, BSDI, and AIX, so I think it's
pretty portable.
