groo@dsoft.UUCP (Bill Squier) (01/02/90)
I'm currently running version .50 BETA of AmigaUUCP, the adapatation of the GNUUUCP system (which in turn is based on uuslave, I'm told). I'm searching for a more recent version of this software (or BETTER UUCP software). I'd prefer not to have to use FTP, since that requires that I wait until I return to school at the end of January. Please send mail to save bandwith (...uunet!tronsbox!dsoft!groo). I'll post a summary if there's a demand. -- Bill Squier - Stevens Inst. of Tech | // "Only Amiga makes it possible" Bitnet: u93_wsquier@stevens | \X/ Internet: u93_wsquier@vaxc.stevens-tech.edu Temporary Inet (Please use until Jan. 13): ...uunet!tronsbox!dsoft!groo

I have done some extensive hacking on the source code for UUCP that I got (don't ask me where: I don't remember :-( I would be willing to email the binaries to anyone interested. [What is the current state of comp.binaries.amiga? Should I mail to the moderator instead and wait for a posting?] The significant changes are: implementation of C News designed to run on a two-floppy system (not recommended, but it works! :-) addition of ``real'' data to the SYSLOG file to look like the HDB ``xferstats'' log file fixes for a few bugs and limitations For example, the source that I got _WOULD NOT_ handle binary transmissions at all -- it was using strcpy() to copy data when it should have used memcpy(). Must'a been _REAL_ old stuff. additions to fully support the Hayes-compatible modems with a specific dialer (the only one, in fact :-) ability to specify the timeout value during the expect-send sequences support for multiple systems (and comments) in the Systems file Currently I haven't written an Intuition interface for either the mailer or the news reader (for a news reader I just use a Uedit program [Thanks Rick, I LOVE Uedit!]). It does receive news with no problems, however. It includes a 16-bit compress which I modified to allocate the compression/decompression tables dynamically so it doesn't always use 436K of RAM. I also have ``atar'' which is my attempt at a UNIX tar command without all the overhead of tar (this one still needs some improvements). Anyway, I talk too much. If you're interested, send me some email. Return mail (electronic) will be about 4-5 days since I'm going out of town for a week and my machine will not stay on. I've been making some small hacks to it which are now complete, so Fred should be seeing a disk from me in the next week or so. -- Frank J. Edwards Phone: (813) 786-3675

I, for one, would LOVE to see it posted SOMEWHERE soon.
