I inquired on USENET about it and it appears tobe a very good implementation. It costs $49.95 which I feel is a reasonable price for it. I looked at the docs, which seemed sparse but adequate. You will proabably want to buy one the NUTSHEEL books on UUCP to really get a handle on using UUCP and netnews. As far as a PD UUCP, don't hold your breath. I found one in an archive, but it was three years old, used the old Alycon C complier, and probably doesn't even compile. If your time is worth anything, it should be worth enough to buy Beckmeyer's UUCP. I have heard of different other versions of UUCP, including one written in GFA BASIC, but I haven't tried them myself. The NUTSHELL books are : "Using uucp and Usenet" and "Managing uucp and Usenet" Both are by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. I ordered my NUTSHELL books from B.Dalton's Bookseller. They took less then a week to arrive. Excellent books!! P.S. NUTSHELL has a series of UNIX related books, I also bought one on MAKE. rec

Think it's version 3. It's a solid package.

Think it's version 3. It's a solid package. So where does a person get information on the Stadel BBS package? Do they have a BBS up and running that I may call? Know of any public BBSs using this software? What are their numbers? -- "I'm an anthropologist, not a computer systems architect, damit!" jdm@hodge.cts.com [uunet zardoz crash]!hodge!jdm James D.
