++-------------+
+
+This version of sendmail notices and reports certain kinds of SMTP
+protocol violations that were ignored by older versions. If you
+are running MH you may wish to install the patch in contrib/mh.patch
+that will prevent these warning reports. This patch also works
+with the old version of sendmail, so it's safe to go ahead and

+| MAKEFILES |
++-----------+
+
+The Makefiles in this release use the new Berkeley "make" that is
+available in BSD Net/2 and 4.4BSD. If you are using this version
+of make, you may notice one or two places where the Makefile includes
+"../../Makefile.inc". This file is not included with the sendmail
+distribution because it's not part of sendmail. However, it is,
+in toto:
+
+ # @(#)Makefile.inc 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/6/93
+
+ BINDIR?= /usr/sbin
+
+The other directories should all have Makefile.dist files that work
+on the old make. For more details, see src/READ_ME.
