[comp.sys.mac] Where to get uupc for the Mac

alexis@dasys1.UUCP (Alexis Rosen) (10/05/88)

I remember some people asking where they could get uupc for the Mac. I just
picked up the following from pubnet.nixpub. I don't know anything about it,
so don't ask...

If anyone does grab this stuff and get it running, how about a review for
the net (how well it works, problems, speed, compatability, etc.)?

I checked this out and found out that the mid-1987 version of uupc
for the mac only runs under the Aztec Shell.  The author
(Steve.Lynne@van-bc) was working on a stand alone version but I
haven't seen it, nor did he respond to my email inquiry.  If anyone
knows anything further...?

Steve is no longer working on this.  He says mostly because he does not
have access to a Mac anymore.  I have conversed over email with Sam Lam
also of the van-bc area.  He has been keeping tabs on the progress of
uupc for other machines (IBM PC, Amega, Atari).  His last suggestion
was to forget the Mac version that runs under Aztec Shell and report the
current MS-DOS version.

For those of you with ftp access the current MS-DOS version can be found
on simtel20.army.mil.  Log in as anonymous.  The file is:

                          pd:<msdos.uucp>interim.arc

Remember this is a binary file.  I haven't gotten a copy of it yet becasue
I don't have a way to dearc the file.
