... and my one seems to be even older :( ... but I think it should be no 
problem to compile newer code if there is any ...


 i:\>which sh
d:\tools\gnu\bin\sh.exe

 i:\>dir d:\tools\gnu\bin\sh.exe

 Volume in drive D is OS/2 APPS      Serial number is E6FE:4814
 Directory of  D:\tools\gnu\bin\sh.exe

12-05-92  14:12          94.641           0  sh.exe
         94.641 bytes in 1 file and 0 dirs    94.720 bytes allocated
  1.163.527.680 bytes free

quick and dirty hack.

	cp NUL: mbox
	for file in *.msg; do
	  grep "^From: " $file | sed -e 's/^From: /From /'
	  cat $file >> mbox
	  echo "" >> mbox
	done

(also note the forgotten semicolon)
