ken@gatech.edu (Ken Seefried iii) (07/30/88)

Is there a UUCP implimentation for MacOS on the Mac II?  Are  there  any
usenet MacOS nodes?

thanks...

Ditto me on this.  I've heard vaguely about unix (other than AUX) on the Mac
but do not know it's source.  If any one knows of uucp or unix implementations
for the any of the Mac range (Plus through to ][), I'd appreciate knowing
also.

Thanks in advance,

Stu.

I don't want to annoy anybody, but I'm very interested in these things
to. Perhaps someone could post an answer, I think there are more who
are interested.

     Like everyone else says, "Me too!"  I'd like to know also if there
are any UsenNet Mac II nodes, since I'll be losing my access when I finish
college, and I simply cannot live without my news...
     I know about the UUCP implementation called UUPC, however, I'm too
lazy to port it over to the Mac myself.  It apparently has already been
ported by someone, but I haven't found it.  Any help on this one would be
appreciated.

I hesitate to state the obvious, but you should be able to compile the
USENET software (2.11) and RN under A/UX, since the authors have taken
great care to allow these programs to run under almost any variety of *NIX.

Just play with the localize file(s) and it *should* work - and it's free.
Now all you need to buy is that 80M disk with A/UX....no problem, right? :-)

I THOUGHT the question was specific enough...

Tell you what...you drop the $3500 for me to get A/UX and ill be more than
happy to impliment your solution...

Otherwise, i am STILL looking for a mail/news solution for MacOS (not even
one letter)...

If you looked *carefully*, you would have seen the :-) smiley face on the
original posting.  Anyway, I thought that some people might not be aware that
this was a possibility....sorry if you were offended....

"The check's in the mail" :-) actually I'm quite happy with my AT&T 3B1 -
it cost $2100 new, has 2 MB RAM/67 MB disk and runs the netnews software fine.
You can pick up models of the 7300 with smaller memory/disks for under $1000.
Yes, I know that doesn't answer your question, but again, maybe it's of 
interest to somebody.

Also note that there are MANY public-access UNIX systems across the country.
Try reading or posting to comp.mail.uucp, comp.mail.misc, news.admin, etc. to
find one in your area.

BTW I have a Mac, and posted requests for info on UUPC or anything similar
myself numerous times but have never received a reply either...I have to
assume it's vaporware...

     I found UUPC for the mac in our archives.  I haven't used it,
but it runs under the Aztec C shell.  It has not been intergrated
to the Mac interface yet.  UUPC for the mac was found on the net
about a year ago.  The authour listed was Stuart Lynne 
[Stuart.Lynne@van-bc.UUCP].

   It exists, there is even a Mac version. You can get it from uunet.uu.net.
 Unfortunately the mac version only runs under the Aztec C shell, no MPW
 or LSC support. Feel free to port this to macOS.
