I would like to know where I can obtain the latest version of UUPC. I know that Sam has made it available to several sites, but I have not heard of any. I no longer have a direct ARPAnet connection so I would either have to use UUCP or a direct download. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I would also like to know if anyone has any experience with machines that make 35 mm color slides or overhead transparencies. This machine must be able to interpret PostScript. Other features include a RS-232C serial port, paper output (optional), >300 dpi, >16 colors, and <$15,000. Model numbers, vendor's name, vendor's address, and personal experiences would be helpful.

The latest IBM-PC/MS-DOS UUPC is available for download at van-bc.UUCP at (604) 939-47{82,56} in the file "interim.arc". Call at 1200 or 2400 baud and use the login name "guest" with the password "guest", then issue the "help" command at the shell prompt for on-line help. Depending on which speed you call in at, you might have to press the return key a few times to get to the login prompt. The 939-4782 number also supports the Telebit TrailBlazer Plus' PEP mode at 9600 baud. The guest login above supports [XYZ]modem, if you would like to call in via UUCP, use the login "nuucp", and password "nuucp", instead. The name of the file in this case is "~/uupc/interim.arc". This interim distribution contains both sources and binaries, and is dated May/88. This version is newer than the official 1.0 distribution posted last summer, and is also the base where the current 2.0 work started from. ...Sam (UUPC release 2.0 co-ordinator) -- Samuel Lam {alberta,watmath,uw-beaver,ubc-vision}!ubc-cs!van-bc!skl

Could anyone point me in the right direction? > I have a bbs in Fremont, Ca that has the orig. Sam Interim for TurboC. It's in the msdos_comm files area and the name is interim.arc. There is also a uupc.arc which contains some mod's by Ted Chan that fixes a few small bugs in multiple node and passing the subject header to multiple systems. This arc is call uupcadd1.arc. I beleive he also add some changes to allow it to compile under MSC5.1. There's a few text files in the same directory that discuss installing uucp for DOS. It's works quite well I have several users that pass mail from there dos machines through Xenix to other dos machines. I haven't tried the slave mode sence DOS has no getty??? Any one out on the net try this yet? How about using the MKS package with a startup shell of uuio in the uupc package. The bbs number is 415-656-9386 2400/1200bps. You may have to hit the break key (or return key) for 1200bps. ---Bob -- Bob Palowoda Work: {sun,decwrl,pyramid}!megatest!palowoda Home: {sun,pryamid}aeras!grinch!legends!fiver!palowoda BBS: (415)656-9386 2400/1200 Voice:(415)656-9384
