Does anyone out in netland have a working copy of UUSLAVE for the IBM PC and compatibles? I saw a version once posted to the net that said it had been hacked up to do so but can no longer find it. The instructions for this would also be helpful. thanks in advance.

He is cleaning up some code and spliting it apart with the approp. make file. I would be guessing, but I imagine that we would be seeing the source in the next 30 or so days. -- Tim Pozar UUCP pozar@hoptoad.UUCP Fido 125/406 USNail KLOK-FM 77 Maiden Lane San Francisco CA 94108

I would like a copy of UUSLAVE also. Someday a FidoNet<->usenet gateway
might just evolve out of that...

Garry Paxinos (paxinos@circle.UUCP) has rebuilt uuslave to be a full uucico with Master and Slave modes, L.sys file support, dial out support, and much more ... Watch comp.sources.misc in the coming month for a completely new posting! John Galvin (galvin@circle.UUCP) has written a complete set of utilities for SEAdog, Opus, Fido, and TBBS BBS systems which allow full, bi-directional email and Usenet news. This software is now in Beta test (He has enuf beta testers, thanks anyways) and more should be heard from him soonly. The usenet news support includes compressed (-b12) batched news feeds, followups, accounting features, and more. circle.UUCP is a Fido system (121/0) which has been getting a news feed from us (hobbes) for about 2 months now... Tim Pozar (pozar@hoptoad) did quuite a bit of work on uuslave before Paxinos took over; he deserves MUCHO LOTSO credit for his work too. He also has an interface to email and Usenet which he is working on. -- John Plocher uwvax!geowhiz!uwspan!plocher plocher%uwspan.UUCP@uwvax.CS.WISC.EDU

Jerry Bain (FidoNet 170/220) and I also have a gateway. Instead of fooling
around with uucp, we use Ymodem-Batch to transfer packets. Zmodem could be
used since rz and sz are being used on the Unix end. We use archive to
compress our packets [please, no flames about ARC... we use it because more
than one file can be put together and compressed a fair amount].
The Fido end calls the Unix box and instead of starting up /bin/[c,k]sh or
uucico, the gateway program is called. It does a little housekeeping and
then rz and sz are spawned.
Batched and unbatch news are both supported as well as regular mail. We
are not yet ready to release the executables, but we SHOULD be by the end of
the month. Routing through the gateway is done by sending to:
...!mfbbs!slick!NET!NODE!USER_NAME
Where USER_NAME is first and last name, separated by a non-alphanumeric
character.
Usenet feeds on FidoNet(EchoMail) are available. Contact Jerry Bain or
me if you are interested.
For mail the other direction (FidoNet to Usenet), send the message to
170/220. The first line of the message MUST contain the keyword
UUCP: routing!user
so an example might be:
UUCP: mfbbs!marc.

pbox [a private machine] is going to take its place.
