;This program gets loaded into a TECO buffer and executed
;to check for the existence of new mail.
;We don't know where in core we will be,
;but the address of the start of our code (S) will be in AC 5.

;Use the SHRINK file on MAICHK.EXE to create a MAICHK.CODE file
;containing a core image which TECO can load.
