At the suggestion of several people on the net, I am expanding my offer to send out on diskette binaries/sources which have been posted to USENET. You can now send me a blank, formatted disk and a post-paid return mailer to receive any one of the following: 1. UUPC Sources for Atari ST, Amiga, Macintosh, and MS-DOS; UUPC Binaries for MS-DOS This is a public domain implementation of the UNIX uucp protocol and mail program. 2. PICNIX 2.0 Binaries only for MS-DOS This is a set of UNIX look-alike utilities for MS-DOS computers. The author offers source code for $30, but unfortunately he is no longer at the address given in the DOCS. If anyone knows the whereabouts of Peter Stephen Heitman, please let me know. 3. MS-Kermit 2.30 Binaries & Manual This is the latest official release of Kermit for PC-compatibles. Major new feature is Tektronix terminal emulation. 4. Archive Utilities for MS-DOS computers I have assembled the following programs which should make it easier to deal with source/binary postings from USENET: PR.ARC PR utility w/source ARCE.COM Unpack PKARC (squashed) archives ARC.EXE Standard SEA Archiver FIND.ARC UNIX-like find command w/source DETAR.EXE Unpack UNIX tar archives SHAR.ARC Create/Unpack UNIX shar archives (w/ source) PCPATCH.ARC Binaries for ed, diff & Larry Wall's patch PDTAR.EXE Public Domain TAR (John Gilmore/GNU) TAR.EXE Tar which can write to raw diskettes COMPRESS.ARC UNIX-compatible compress (w/sources) When sources for the PCPATCH package are posted to USENET, they will be added to this collection. I can handle 360K and 1.2M DOS-formatted 5.25 inch diskettes, as well as 720K DOS-formatted 3.5 inch diskettes. I am unable to format 1.2M disks, so make sure you send a formatted disk. I can also write tar or cpio archives to raw floppy disk (5.25 inch only), using a Microport System V/AT system. I believe that these disks are readable on Xenix 286 systems, and on 386 UNIX systems; I do not know which other systems would be able to read these disks. Each of the four packages requires one 360K disk; a 720K disk can hold two packages, and a 1.2M disk can hold all four. Please enclose a SELF-ADDRESSED, STAMPED return mailer. If you do not live in the United States, please enclose two international reply coupons available from your post office. If you have any questions, feel free to send me e-mail.
