To those who are sending disks for copies of FSUUCP: *PLEASE PLEASE* DO ***NOT*** stamp the return mailers with your postage meter!!! The post office will NOT deliver mail stamped like this from any city other than the one the meter identifies it as being from!!! To date I have spent about $30 in postage, and today I received 5 more disks like this. As of today, there are the LAST ones I will mail out and pay for postage. In the future, if I can contact you via email, I will, else, there's nothing I can do! I'd like to distribute this for free, but it's getting EXPENSIVE! Here's the propoganda, for those who don't know what FSUUCP is: FSUUCP Version 1.1 release 5 is the most current version of FSUUCP. FSUUCP implements a UUCP/Usenet transfer protocol for MSDOS based machines. It comes complete with a full 7 window uucico, uuxqt with rnews and rmail capability, mail, readnews, postnews, uuq, uusnap, and news utilities like batcher and expire. Unlike other packages, FSUUCP implements these programmes as DOS commands directly. By putting the executables on your PATH, and setting an environment variable pointing to your configuration file, you can have UNIX mail and news on your MSDOS machine from the prompt, just like UNIX. To get a copy of FSUUCP: 1. Get it via anonymous FTP from polyslo.calpoly.edu. The file name will be fsuu11r5.zip. The current naming convention is fsuu[VV]r[R].zip, where VV is the version number in V.V format, and R is the release number. In this case, fsuu11r5 means version 1.1, release 5. Check occasionally on polyslo to be sure you have the latest version. 2. Mail us the $35 shareware registration and we will mail you back a disk with a registered copy. Please specify: A. 3.5" 720K B. 5.25" 1.2Meg 3. Mail us a self-addressed stamped disk mailer with either formatted 5.25" 1.2 Meg or 3.5" 720K or 1.44Meg disk. ***NO 360K DISKS!!!*** PLEASE USE POSTAGE STAMPS, NOT METERS! THE POST OFFICE WILL NOT DELIVER METERED MAIL EXCEPT WHEN *YOU* MAIL IT! Registered users remain registered through all major revisions, or for a full year from time of registering, whichever is longer. That is, if you register your copy of 1.1, you are still registered through 1.2, 1.3, ..., 1.x, and all releases of these versions, and you are also still registered regardless of the version for a full year. Note that if you choose method 3, you DO NOT need to send the registration until/if you decide to use FSUUCP. And, as always, any bug reports or wishlists will be addressed for future releases. Coming Soon: FSBBS 2.0, Fubar Systems BBS with FSUUCP 1.x integrated into the package, plus local boards, DYM, games, files, textfiles, complete full-screen sysop utilities, termcap capability, scheduler, complete development package available, fully expandable, pant pant pant. All this, and shareware too.
