MAILER.DOC -- Changes from V3(5) to V4(6)
January 1979



1.0  SUMMARY

MAILER is a privileged system program which, in cooperation with MAIL,
delivers messages to users.  MAILER ordinarily runs under SYSJOB.

MAILER version 4(6) runs only on Release 4 of TOPS-20.

MAILER depends on the program MAIL  4(6)  and  the  privileged  system
program  INFO  4(6).   Messages  delivered  by  MAILER are read by the
program RDMAIL.

MAILER is not formally documented.
