/* begin * biff+comsat 0.17 (mail arrival notification daemon) Comsat is the server process which receives reports of incoming mail and notifies users if they have requested this service. "biff" is the program that requests comsat service "biff y", and may be placed in a user's startup file if they'd like to hear a beep and trash their console with each new piece of junk mail. Biff was the name of Heidi Stettner's dog, who barked when the mailman came. Biff was well known to many of the early BSD developers living in Evans Hall at U.C. Berkeley. * end */
