Hi there, I'm from Germany and right now on a temporary assignment from my company in California. I have to return to Germany very soon and I'd like to now if there are any German sites where I can get a newsfeed from Usenet. I won't have a chance to get it through my company, therefore I'm looking for a possibility to get it onto my PC via modem/acoustic coupler. I know about PC software called UUPC. Does this also run with DOS rather than UNIX? Is it possible to connect a DOS PC to UUCP? Your help would be appreciated and I hope to get an answer very soon. Thanks.

There's a package (usually called UFG_103.ZIP or UFG_103.LZH) available for DOS machines that does a fine job porting uucp to dos. The entire package is about 650k, and you should certainly be able to locate it on a nearby bulletin board system, particularly one that supports FidoNet mailers....ask the office hackers if they can recommend a local system where you can begin the search. -- 1B Systems Management Ltd. | 4B - 2520 Bowen Road, Nanaimo, B.C.

As it so happens I have it on my BBS and am using it. The phone number is (305) 979-2367 and the file is UFGATE.ARC.
