I'm running uc under 4.1c No problems once I got it up.

There was a problem in bringing it up. Uc gets file stats through
a function called `fstat', which can be found near the end of the
source. Fstat is also a library routine on 4.1c, and is called
by both printf and stat. Since the uc fstat calls stat, calling
printf leads to an infinite recursion. The first thing uc does
is print it's name out, so running it produces a short delay,
followed by dropping core due to stack overflow. I changed the
name of the routine from fstat to filestat, and everything worked
like a charm.

A new version of UC is now on SIMTEL20 in MICRO:<UNIX.CPM>.  Version 1.4
corrects a minor bug in which UC created an empty uc.log file even when
instructed not to perform logging to disk.  I sent a copy to Ted to be
posted to net.sources on USENET.  I am only running UC on a UNIX SYSTEM V,
so I can't guarantee its performance on other UNIX implementations.  It has
compiled and run successfully on JHU UNIX, however, when the SYSTEM III
flag was used with the compiler.

Enjoy!
