From lauren Sun Jan 20 18:54 PST 1985 remote from vortex Date: Sun, 20-Jan-85 18:54:03 PST From: Lauren Weinstein <vortex!lauren@RAND-UNIX.ARPA> Subject: MSDOS UUCP Message-ID: <8501201854.422.1.VT1.00C@vortex.UUCP> To: felix!pertec!chrsbmw CC: UNIX-WIZARDS@BRL My MSDOS UUCP package (which is the end result of over a year of almost full time work on my part) is finished -- the holdup is installation and user level docs. Installation, in particular, might be a little tricky for people who know *nothing* about MSDOS or UNIX. The package has a fancy mail program (with 822 compatibility where possible, and a cron-like program for handling incoming calls and scheduling outgoing calls/work. It allows generation of outgoing and acceptance of incoming netnews. I'm assuming people have at least 256K to run the entire package. It'll run on floppies, but of course floppies are slow and don't give you much room for incoming mail. As I've mentioned in the past, the MSDOS UUCP turned into a massive amount of work--*much* more than I had planned for. Still, now that it all seems to be working, I can hopefully relax a little. --Lauren--
