# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| biff+comsat: biff+comsat (mail arrival notification daemon) biff+comsat: biff+comsat: Comsat is the server process which receives reports of incoming mail biff+comsat: and notifies users if they have requested this service.
