This is a fresh posting of the entire source for 'ease', the language
for writing sendmail(8) configuration files. It incorporates all the
enhancements in my December posting of diffs, plus some bug fixes,
and support for undocumented/unimplemented sendmail features. I have
also included, my 'cfc' program, which turns raw sendmail files into
something close to real 'ease'. All changes and improvements are actually
documented in the documentation.

Besides my own contributions, this posting includes code from Stephen Schaefer
of Bowling Green State University, Jeff Stearns of John Fluke Manufacturing
Company, Raymond Schnitzler of Bellcore, and Andrew Partan of the Corporation
for Open systems. Based on suggestions from Rich Salz of BBN, I have reworked
the lexical analyzer to use a binary search on a table of keywords. This makes
the program much smaller, and also slightly faster.

I have retired the 'maketd' program for making dependencies, and replaced
it with the standard BSD Makefile method. I have also removed the config
files from the original posting, since they were never completed.

More or less by default, I have become the "official" maintainer of ease.
However, I think at this point it does all it needs to do; I don't intend
to devote lots of work to it. However, if you find (and fix) bugs, I would
be interested in seeing what you do.

Enjoy,
