Has anyone implemented "dcp" on MS-DOS. Does "dcp" work with uucp
to other unix hosts ? or do I have to have "dcp" on both ends ?
Others have sent messages to me interested in "dcp".

The original posting of dcp ( a "uuclone" ) worked on MS-DOS. It also worked for VMS and a DG machine (I can't remember which one). I am just in the middle of a substantial reworking of parts of dcp to make it: a) easier to port to other pc based systems b) more uucp functionality c) more mail functionality d) spool incoming news Currently I have it running well on the Macintosh with a port to the Atari ST almost complete. Amiga and a re-hosting to the IBM PC have been started but the people doing them havn't really got up to speed yet. The portablity issue is a big one but doesn't seem too hard to solve. Currently the main "dcp" files which implement the uucp protocol, and the "mail" files which implement a simple User Agent and Message Transfer Agent contain no changes or conditionals for the Atari ST or Macintosh. It doesn't appear necessary for PC-DOS or the Amiga either. We have removed the host dependant code into totally separate files. This means porting to other systems, and maintenance of the current code is greatly simplified. When I have anything worth posting I will send it to comp.sources.misc. Early copies of the source are available only on an as is basis. -- Stuart Lynne ihnp4!alberta!ubc-vision!van-bc!sl Vancouver,BC,604-937-7532
