Okay, I found the build problem. Somehow, OS2TK45 got dropped 
from RPM/YUM. This was working, so I don't know what happened. 
Possibly something while testing ArcaOS. Anyway, I can build it 
now. I think the WIS, and PMMutil, are okay. They both need some 
work, but I think we should leave it, for now. Very few users (if any) 
will see any problems. The only problem, that I see, is doing a new 
install, with accounts already in place. PMMutil pops up an error, 
that doesn't tell me anything. Pressing <enter> will let it finish. This 
probably should be in the README.

There is still a problem with aspell.cnf. It needs to be:
--------------------------
#
# aspell.cnf -- Configuration for PMMail use of Aspell library
#
dict-dir  at UNIXROOT/usr/lib/aspell-0.60
data-dir  at UNIXROOT/usr/lib/aspell-0.60
#
# ____[ end ]____
#
----------------------
but PMMail doesn't understand " at UNIXROOT". It also doesn't 
understand %UNIXROOT%, so the user needs to set the proper 
drive (W:) in place of  at UNIXROOT, unless PMMail is installed on 
the UNIXROOT drive. Then they can simply omit  at UNIXROOT. I 
haven't been able to find where this file gets initialized.

I can see a problem, if ASpell ever gets updated, and the path 
changes.
