Note: Please reply by _mail_, and I'll summarize if enough interest is shown. Followups to comp.sys.amiga won't be seen.... First, a fix for (one of?) the bugs regarding trying to use uupc to talk to multiple systems: The function dscandir, in dcpsys.c, does: sprintf(cname, XQTFILE, rmtname); This searches for execute files from the last host we thought about talking to, which is always the last host in the systems file. Any X. files from other hosts are ignored, even if we specifically connected to that host. The fix is to change XQTFILE to "X." (the prefix for execute files on your system) and to change the sprintf to: strcpy(cname, XQTFILE); Now, for the real questions. I'm still using 1.1, as I've latticified it and cleaned it up somewhat for use as a serious network program (as opposed to something you run when you feel like it on an IBM-PC). However, the code is ugly (the above bug was caused by overloading global variables), and there are _lots_ of things that still need to be changed before I'll be happy with it. That's why I'm still using 1.1. 1.18 has none of the changes I put in, and the bug fixes aren't for things I've stumbled over (yet, of course). I can't see fixing the Manxisms and log file code again (and again and again). I know people are running uupc under amicron. Are you happy as things are - with debug message showing up everywhere, no timestamps in log files, one empty log file & one log file with everything in it? Or have you tried to clean some of that up? Has anyone had any luck getting one of the other PA/PD UUCP implementations working? GnuUCP? Also, is anyone out there working on a user mail agent to replace the "mail" that comes with uupc? Say porting elm (which now runs on MSDOS), or writing micromh (mmh?), or some such (I already know that Matt's ported dmail)?
