It was originally written for the PC, but I am currently using the Mac version. There are two Mac versions that I know of: one works under the Aztec C Shell, and the other is compiled with LightSpeed C. The system works fairly well, and allows transfer of mail and news articles (though the absence of newsreading software makes handling the latter a bit of a pain). The mail program is a decent emulation of standard unix mail, though it is missing some features, like CC and an easy reply facility. I use a combination of the software provided, plus judicious use of a text editor DA, to get done what I need to. I've adjusted fairly well to getting done all of the things I need to do with mail, including easily including existing Mac text files in mail (like BinHexed files...). The only hard part for most people will be arranging with another site to provide a mail and/or news feed for them to dial in to. If there's a good deal of interest, please let me know, and I will post the UUCP binaries, along with the sources, the documentation files (such as they are), and an extra file that I'm writing that will EXPLAIN the UUPC docs so you can actually get it up and working. I'll post it to info-mac and to comp.binaries.mac. In the meantime, if anyone HAS the software already and is having trouble getting it working, feel free to ask for help. I've ironed out my problems with it; I might as well share my solutions with you. -- ============================================================================ Mark H.

Version 2.0(?) of uupc for the Mac is available from info-mac now. This version is a much improved (cleaned-up) implementation that includes source compatible with Think C 4.0. The source builds correctly the first time!
