I recounted this message too late.
The plip.c code i posted works fine, and in teh cas eyou need plip but
have no more irq lines free then you're SOL but oh well right?
(oh, and I wasn't complaining about the system, i was attempting to
exemplify how ancient that hardware was, to top it off it is a laptop so I
can't very well stick a net card in it <frown>).
%--* ely % I bet I should *really* consider mailing these W-2's yes?

ParaSCSI? Say, there wouldn't happen to be a Par-to-SCSI driver 'anywhere'
that is compatible with my EPST cable would there? It would be nice if I
could resume burning, and it'd be one of the last 3 things tying me to a
two drive Win/Linux system.

The intent is certainly not to "run off ... and change procmail for their
own purposes." It's merely to focus the discussion. It's possible but
difficult to search the list archives for tidbits, and I'd rather hear
what people are interested in *now*. I won't pretend that I don't have a
use in mind for procmail -- if I didn't, I wouldn't be getting into this
discussion in the first place -- but I have no intention of hijacking it.
I read through a hundred recent messages or so from each of the procmail
and SmartList lists before asking about "Ongoing development" on the
SmartList list. The procmail messages were almost entirely Q&A about
procmailrc recipes, and (until after I asked) the SmartList messages were
mostly about setup.
Here's a statistic: approximately 3% of the procmail messages archived in
September mention the word "patch". Fewer actually include one or point
to one. I was hoping for a bit better hit rate.
However, perhaps I was premature in setting up a new list. Straw poll?
Send a message to me at:
schaefer+procmail@zanshin.com
indicating which of the following most accurately reflects your opinion:
(1) The procmail-future list should shuts down; discussion occurs on the
procmail and SmartList lists only.
mailto:schaefer+procmail@zanshin.com?subject=shut%20down%20procmail-future
(2) The procmail-future list should forward to the procmail list.
mailto:schaefer+procmail@zanshin.com?subject=forward%20to%20procmail
(3) The procmail-future list should forward to the SmartList list.
mailto:schaefer+procmail@zanshin.com?subject=forward%20to%20SmartList
(4) Both (2) and (3).
mailto:schaefer+procmail@zanshin.com?subject=forward%20to%20both
(5) It's OK to continue procmail-future as a separate discussion.
mailto:schaefer+procmail@zanshin.com?subject=keep%20procmail-future%20separate
(6) This whole thing is a waste of time, procmail isn't going anywhere.
mailto:schaefer+procmail@zanshin.com?subject=procmail%20is%20dead
(You don't need to use the URLs, I just added them in case some folks have
UAs that can interpret them. Freeform replies are fine.)
In addition to the above, please comment on whether you think SmartList
is worth pursuing (if you have an opinion).
I'll summarize (and act on) the results after next Friday, Oct. 16.

Whether it's a good idea for multigram to score those addresses as similar
is open to debate, but the algorithm *is* intended to do so.
If you look carefully at the findatlast() function in multigram.c, you'll
see that without the patch I posted, it *always* returns NULL. That means
that an entire branch of lowcase() is never executed. That can't possibly
be what SRB intended.
