概要

論文の詳細を見る
The electronic mail service on the inter-university N1 computer network has been started and is currently available on several host computers in the network. The programs required for this service are now being developed at computing centers in Hokkaido University and University of Tokyo. The programs are the mail message receiver, the mail message sender, the user interface, and several utility programs to support miscellaneous housekeeping tasks required in the service. The mail message receiver, the mail retrieving user interface, utility programs to maintain mailbox datasets, and outer parts of mail sender are programmed at Hokkaido, while the rest at Tokyo. The works at Hokkaido has been nearly completed at the time of the writing of this manuscript, except for the mailbox maintaining utility.The N1-mail system itself is defined based on the CCITT X400 series specifications of the Message Handling System(MHS),as shown in and its related papers. As the specifications give the syntactic aspects of the messaging system only, some auxilliary definitions for functional facilities are made complementing the specifications. The programs are designed to implement the specifications and the definitions. In this report, we wil1 present the basic design plan and the considerations made while implementing the plan.
