Help is on the way! Due to high demand, we have sent off IBM PC Binaries for uupc to Brandon Allbery to be posted to comp.binaries.ibm. If the same demand is there we will look at Amiga and Atari as well. We're still looking for someone to port the Mac stuff to a non-Aztec environment. It wouldn't make sense to post the current Mac binaries because you wouldn't be able to run them without the Aztec Shell, and you don't get that without the Aztec compiler, and if you have the Aztec compiler you don't need the binaries.... We'll keep you posted. -- {ihnp4!alberta!ubc-vision,uunet}!van-bc!Stuart.Lynne Vancouver,BC,604-937-7532

Anyone out there got uupc to work? I think I have all of it (sources and
executables) but not being a uucp guru, I am hesitant to get too involved.
How about it netters, any good advice?

These versions will constitute my first release of uupc and pcmail. Please see the README files in each shar file for appropriate instructions. As is, uupc sends and receives files quite well. Still unimplemented is the reverse direction file transfers, i.e. send a file to a remote host while in slave mode, receive a file while in master mode. These are not needed to support news and mail. A proper uucp command is need too. The user agent mail program is a very simple hack to simply allow you to read and send mail. Hopefully someone will work on replacing this! The message transfer agent pcmail program is fairly robust. It does need to have some more intelligence to allow for more intelligent routing of outgoing mail. Currently ALL outgoing mail is forward to a single remote site for processing. This will actually handle the needs of a large number of users but for those lucky ones who can actually get access to several large uucp sites better routine would be nice. Other things which are needed: news unbatcher news reader Currently the news is simply spooled to a directory with a unique file name. You can read this with a normal text editor. If you wish to have outgoing mail the easiest way is to have your news feed set up alias's like: comp.sys.amiga "| /usr/local/lib/news/recnews comp.sys.amiga" Then simply mail your article to: comp.sys.amiga@newsfeedhost.uucp Please feel free to port this code to other environments. I ask only that you try and limit changes to the machine independent code. Things have been setup so that you shouldn't have to modify dcp, uupc, mail or pcmail if you are simply porting to a new environment. Please send me any new versions, diff's to get old versions working better, bug fixes etc. Have fun and enjoy. I would suggest that questions and comments about uupc/dcp/mail be directed to comp.mail.uucp on Usenet. This group is about "Mail in the uucp network environment." which describes uupc pretty well.

Rurrently UUNET is only polled twice per week, you may wish to send any messages via both paths to ensure delivery. UUNET is probably more reliable, ubc-vision may be faster if you can reach them from your site. uupc June 8, 1987 Stuart Lynne For Beta implementors only. uupc incorporates a streamlined version of dcp to implement a uucp mail and news delivery system. See README.DCP for dcp info. By moving the host dependant code into one file the other four dcp files can hopefully be maintained easily. It should be possible to maintain one version of them which compiles and runs on all machines without conditional compilation flags. The host file should contain: - serial I/O - BSD compatible directory routines - system call stuff This all goes to implement a command called uupc. It is similiar to the uucico command under unix. uupc [-xn] [-shost] There is also two mail source files. Pcmail is the MTA part of the mail system. It compiles in two ways, one for rmail (add only From and Received: headers), define a simple rnews; and for lmail (add all headers). Pcmail will effect delivery of mail to local and remote users. Currently all remote mail is directed to one smart host for forwarding. Mail is a simple UA. It allows you to send mail and read your mailbox. It needs lots of work but is servicable. mail -s "subject here" user user@remote.site.domain < message mail -f =mailbox mail will all do the obvious. Mail will append a .signature if it can find one, and will keep a copy of your outgoing mail in =mail.sent. ToDo: uucp command mail improvements bug fixes to uupc/dcp ports to Atari, Amiga, IBM PC, VMS Makefile - sample Makefile (Macintosh Aztec C) getargs.c - library routine lmail.c - define LMAIL; include pcmail mail.c - mail program (UA) pcmail.c - mail program (MTA) rmail.c - define RMAIL; include pcmail lib.c - misc library routines, FOPEN, CREAT, getargs, printmsg host.h - prototype for host.c, includes "local/host.h" mailhost.c - ditto for mailhost.c, includes "local/host.c" mlib.c - ditto for mlib.c, includes "local/mlib.c" ulib.c - ditto for ulib.c, includes "local/ulib.c" uuhost.c - ditto for uuhost.c, includes "local/host.c" pcmail in general Pcmail provides MTA functionality. It delivers the mail. Currently it is very dumb about forwarding mail. Local deliveries always succeed if there is room and the mail spooling directory exists. No "/etc/passwd" file list of users is used to determine if there really is a mailbox for an incoming message. Also outgoing mail is assumed to go to one smart host for processing. This is determined by scanning for "!" or "@" in the address. Both local and remote delivery algorithms could be souped up. Locally we should maintain a list of mailboxes. For remote we should attempt to build a path to the most reasonable host for forwarding a specific message. This will require a small version of the paths database most likely. If your only talking to one host anyway the current scheme is not all that bad. Pcmail has one additional capability which is not currently being exploited. It can add additional message length header lines and spool mail into a mailbag. This mailbag could then be sent intact to your host for processing. The host must run rpcmail (availble from sl@van-bc.uucp) to unbatch the messages to rmail. This corresponds to the AT&T Mail protocol for uploading mail from PC's. Most likely the converse capability would be more suitable. Have the host batch incoming mail and news. Unbatch it on this side. pcmail / LMAiL The mail UA is composed of the mail.c program and pcmail.c compiled without defining RMAIL (LMAIL). The LMAIL version of pcmail adds rfc822 headers to all mail, copies mail to =mail.sent etc. pcmail / RMAIL The uu program contains the RMAIL version of pcmail. It only adds the From Received: headers to incoming mail.

O.k., I finally got uupc to compile (using msc with the make from Turbo C) and
it's up and running. Now for the fun stuff. I would like to modify it so it
runs in the background as a tsr. I've written tsr programs in Turbo C, so I've
already gained some ground. What I really need is a good context switching
mechanism that not only switches stacks, but also tells dos which file
descriptors to use for each respective process, and any other gotcha's that I
haven't thought of yet.
I know that there has to be someone out there in netland that has gone through
this before. So, could you please email me suggestions, sources, tips, etc?
Of course I'll post a summary and any worthwhile modifications to the uupc
sources.

All of which I use in a UNIX and DOS enviorment running a bbs. The programs that I use are PD and come with source. It all works quite well when running a bbs. So hopefully some others can benifiet from about what I am going to describe in my setup. Two systems: AT 10Mhz XT 8Mhz Xenix DOS XBBS Software for BBS Telix 3.11 to call into the rzsz Software for Y and Z modem. BBS via modem and hardwired. kermit for kermit. UUPC for email to the xenix system. newarc For ARC and PKARC files KAQ9 Software for TCP/IP running slip KAQ9 for TCP/IP running slip Pcomm 1.2 A procomm clone for unix/xenix Telix has Zmodem built into it and the bbs supports zmodem. When I have to edit files on the Xenix system I use the vt100 terminal emulation. The only bug I noticed is when going into a insert mode it overwrites the exsisting characters. But reappear when you hit the esc key. I noticed when switch over to a ann arbor termcap you can switch the telix mode to 50 lines on a vga card and can edit useing vi. There is a few bugs with some sequences but eventually I'll work them out of the termcap. newarc -- Not actually a new arc just a hacked up version of arc to support PKXARC squashed files. Alot of the dos bbs have pkxarc files on them. I found no bugs with this. rzsz Is Y/Z modem for unix. Should run under SYSV3.2 also. KAQ9 For the network. There is still bugs on the Xenix side. I'm still working on this one. UUPC alpha.arc For the turbo-c version and uupc_mc.arc for MSC5.1 version. I have several local people who have dos machines and send email to the unix machine. It dosn't have uux built into it. If anyone has made a modification to do replies I would like to get a copy. XBBS A pain to setup but it's written in C and it's fast. Supports X/Y/Z kermit file transfers. Pcomm1.2 Has the look and feel of Procomm, I found alot of little annoying bugs with this one but it functions. Best of all this is its FREE. Except for the phone call. There are serval bbs that offer it as far as I know. Sandys in the L.A. area. 714-898-8634.

I have it set up on my pc, have a site set up on my unix machine (all permissions etc working) but can't get the damn thing to work...using the X9 debugger I see that the pc side doesn't seem to be sending it's nodename and my unix machine says it "I don't know you" or some such nonsense. Now, does anyone have this thing working between pcs or more importantly between a pc and unix box? Let me show what I have so maybe you can spot the problem...... On my unix machine...... nuucp is the login to bring up uucico an entry in Systems looks like this. LOGNAME=nuucp MACHINE=pc REQUEST=yes SENDFILES=yes READ=/ WRITE=/ COMMANDS=ALL On my pc the Systems file looks like this: unixsys Any COM2 1200 g "" AT OK ATDT5551212 CONNECT \n\r ogin:-BREAK-ogin:-BREAK-ogin: pc It gets through the chat ok and gets to the point where my unix machinge says Shere=unixsys Any ideas? Also, anyone who would like a copy of this programs send me a disk at my snail mail address and I send it back to you with the arced file on it.

i'm looking for a current version of "uupc" for DOS. i've got an old, (august 87) alpha version from stuart lynn, which is apparently an adaptation of richard lamb's "dcp" code. it provides two programs, "mail" and "uu". the former works reasonably well, but the latter, which kinda emulates unix uucico (but, this being dos, runs in the foreground) does not, at least when i try to connect to a xenix or ultrix system. just get lots of checksum errors (uucp "g" protocol). i know there are at least two commercial versions available, but don't have several hundred $s to spend on this, plus would like to have source to customize. if you have source or know where it is please let me know; i do not have direct ftp access to the internet or uunet but may prevail upon neighbors who do. please followup to comp.unix.xenix as my news feed does not include comp.sys.ibm.pc- or send mail if you could mail me source. thanks!

Note: This document was revised on 12 Febuary 1990. The current release of UUPC/extended is available via: Anonymous Kermit server running on kendra, my home system. Anonymous FTP from clutx.clarkson.edu, directory pub/uupc. Because kendra is the system I develop UUPC/extended on, the files available from kendra's kermit server will always be the definitive versions. However, I have no intention of releasing an excessive number of releases, so normally the FTPable version will be current. SPECIAL NOTE: Because of time and disk space restrictions, I do not mail copies of the source or executables, provide custom .ARC or .ZIP files with only a limited set of the files, or provide other distribution services-- please don't ask. I do answer my mail, especially from other people who have worked on UUPC, and I also at least acknowledge bug reports (remember, I run this software too). Kermit Instructions: To retrieve UUPC/extended via Kermit, you will have to have a Kermit which can issue the GET and FINISH commands to a Kermit server. Set your Kermit to: Its maximum packet size (optional) 3 byte checksum (optional) 2 Windows (optional) 1200 or 2400 baud No parity ^S/^Q flow control Call 617-641-4817. The best time to call is between 10 am and 5 pm weekdays, and any night between midnight and 5 AM (All times are Eastern). Other times, the system CAN and WILL be down or busy for extended periods of time. After connect, press ENTER and kendra's "login:" prompt will appear. Enter the user id: anonymous and press ENTER. The "password:" prompt will appear. Enter the password: ribbit and press ENTER. Note: Both the user id and password are case sensitive, and you cannot backspace when typing them in. If you make an error then press ENTER until you get the "login:" prompt again and start over. The user id will not echo until you press ENTER, and the password will not echo at all. A short hello message will appear, and then Kermit-MS will await your command. Escape to your local command mode, and then issue a GET for one or more of the files listed above. When done, issue the FINISH command to shutdown the Kermit server. DO NOT just hang up your telephone, because then you will lock up kendra, which is not critical but is unkind since now you know better. About the files: The files available via FTP and Kermit as: name Description uupcsrc.arc Source files for UUPC, PKPAK format uupcuser.arc Run time (.EXE and .DOC files) only, PKPAK format. uupcsrc.zip Same as uupcsrc.arc, but in PKZIP format uupcuser.zip Same as uupcuser.arc, but in PKZIP format. howtoget.it This file. kermit.exe The current release of IBM-PC Kermit-MS Note: Right now, actually only the .ZIP files are loaded to clutx. (So I lied.) The UUPCSRC files include the source and the raw documents, the UUPCUSER files includes the executables and formatted documents. Both UUPCSRC and UUPCUSER include the same sample files. The UUPCSRC.ZIP file must be PKUNZIPed with the unpack directory option. Because PKPAK does not support path names in files, the UUPCSRC.ARC file includes two ARC files of its own, UUPCLCL.ARC and UUPCDOC.ARC; these files should PKUNPAK'ed into the sub-directories LOCAL and DOC. Kermit is the program I run to provide the Kermit server; the current release (3.00) supports windows in file transfer, long (2000 bytes) packets and VT-320 terminal emulation. The manual for Kermit is available via anonymous FTP from cunixc.cc.columbia.edu. I don't have space for it kendra. Please direct all questions to help@kendra.kew.com. Drew Derbyshire

I cannot get uupc version "UUPC/post-1.,0-interim/IBM-PC/MS-DOS/1" to run agains an hp 350 running HP-UX. My uupc\lib\systems is read and it does perform the login sequence, does the Shere=xxx exchange, but it fails when it comes to sending over the files. If anybody think they can help me, please send me a mail and I will send you more info.
