I am trying to get my UUCP up and running. Now here is what I found. Waffle is a very good program, but the mail doesn't have a subject line (I need it !!). Its UUCICO and UUXQT are excellent. So is there any public domain UUCICO and UUXQT ? If not, is it possible to use Waffle's UUCICO and UUXQT with other public domain UUCP ? (Just to get the mail with subject line). Most UUIO program does not allow ctrl-c (break) in the middle of connection. Is there a way I can suspend the connection ?

Uh, I'm running Waffle v1.63/5 (beta release), and mail supports a Subject: line. It has since v1.61, when I first started using Waffle. It may have been supported earlier than that, but I don't know... You don't list what version of Waffle you're using. Perhaps you don't have the latest version? The ask: line in the STATIC file controls what header items the user is asked to fill in when sending mail. If you don't have an ask: line, or if it doesn't include "Subject", you should add one. My ask: line looks like this: ask : Subject > So is there any public domain UUCICO and UUXQT ? There are other implimentations of UUCP available for MS-DOS. Free or shareware ones include UUPC and FSUUCP; payware ones include UULINK. But UUPC doesn't support Usenet news, FSUUCP seems to be rather buggy, and UULINK is fairly expensive ($300). Your best bet would be to use Waffle, because it *should* be able to do what you want it to. > If not, is it possible to use Waffle's UUCICO and UUXQT with > other public domain UUCP ?

Is there a way I can suspend the connection ? That's because MS-DOS, by default, will only check for the ^C when text is written to the screen using BIOS or DOS calls. If you set BREAK=ON, it will check more often, but you still may have to wait until it prints something to the screen. For the record, Waffle's UUCICO usually responds promptly to a ^C, whether or not it's printing anything to the screen.

You need only add the line ask : Subject in your /waffle/system/static file, and Waffle will ask for and include a subject line. > >Most UUIO program does not allow ctrl-c (break) in the middle >of connection. Is there a way I can suspend the connection ? Waffle UCICO can be killed with a Ctrl-C at any time (Ver. 1.62) -- Roy M. Silvernail | Imported from Alaska, where Hell really does freeze over!
