In keeping with Netiquette (not to mention an e-mail request from Bob Hassin-
ger) (OOPS, I _just did_ "mention it!"), here is a summary of responses to my
recent "Fool Questions" posting, in which I requested information on several
issues relating to DNET and UUCP on the Amiga.
First, many thanks to the respondents:
Howard Hull (hull@hao.ucar.edu) - DNET and UUCP
Jeff Van Epps (amusing!lordbah%sunrock.East@Sun.COM) - DNET and UUCP
Brad Isley (...!gatech!bagend!slammer!brad) - UUCP
(If anyone else has written me, and is not listed here - I never got it!)
Summary of information:
UUCP:
Runs successfully on:
Ami 500 with 3 megs RAM, 40M hard disk
- "floppies only" would probably mean receiving only a very
restricted feed: comp.* + rec.* + news.* + sci.* = 2Meg/day
- "only 1Meg RAM" may cause problems decompressing compressed
news.
(model unspecified) with 1.5 megs RAM and two floppies
- "it wasn't easy" - most binaries on DF0:, some stuff on DF1:,
about 400K available for UUCP'ing to DF1:. "You really need
a hard disk."
Latest version(s) is/are:
AmigaUUCP: version 0.50 \
AmigaMail: version 0.50 >- "includes DCRON (Matt Dillon's
AmigaNews: version 0.50 / CRON, not covered by GNU copyright"

UUCP: wpl@creation.UUCP

- send blank disk w/sufficient return postage, OR
$5 per disk and Dynamyx will provide disks/postage.
Also apparently "freely redistributable under the terms of the
GNU 'copyleft' license." E.g., find someone who already has it
and get it from them... :-)

DNET:
Runs successfully on:
Ami 500 with 3M memory and 40M hd (Ami side)
- "binaries appear to consume about 390 blocks"
BSD Unix systems (*NOT* SYS V Unix; also someone locally reports
problems trying to run it on this machine (bsu-cs) under 4.3BSD
Reports are "not yet in" on trying it under "MORE/bsd" installed
here recently.
Latest version is 2.0, recently posted to the comp.binaries.amiga news-
group. NOTE: Original copies received at PORT system are INCOMPLETE!
Obtainable from:
This network, apparently... no "details" sent, although someone is
Snail-mailing it to me on disks!
