Available from William Loftus is Amiga UUCP V0.32 - this is a fully working beta version. I think the cost is free provided you mail him a disk and a pre-paid return mailer. (Check with Bill to be sure!) Currently UseNet is *NOT* available - this is what I am working on (writing). I have a few more bugs to work out and Bill is also in the process of porting Vnews to the Amiga. As soon as we have UseNet working well enough to release, it will be combined with UUCP and released as V0.40 Let me say that if you are not a UUCP expert, consider buying a good book. There are enough instructions to get you up and running but thats about it. (I use and recommend "UNIX Communications" a Waite group book by Howard Sams) Bill's mail address is burdvax!wpl -=- mine is in the below .signature file. -- Dan "Sneakers" Schein {ihnp4|allegra|burdvax|rutgers}!cbmvax!heimat!sneakers Sneakers Computing 2455 McKinley Ave West Lawn PA 19609 Call: BERKS AMIGA BBS 24 Hrs - 3/12/2400 Baud Disclaimer: Any opinions expressed are 40 Meg -=- 215/678-7691 those of Sneakers Computing Of course heimat is an Amiga, doesn't everyone run UUCP & UseNet on an Amiga?
