Title: hap Version: 1 Submitted: Jan 15 1996 Author: Eric Fischer Submittor: Eric Fischer Description: a mail notification program 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.
