[comp.mail.uucp] UUCP PC Clone For Turbo-C Wanted

scs@itivax.iti.org (Steve Simmons) (07/28/89)

Posting for a friend --

He's looking for source for a uucp clone for his IBM-PC clone that's
intended to compile with Turbo C.  He looked at uupc some time back and
sez it was very MicroSoft C dependant.  If anybody has any pointers,
general info on shareware uucps for clones, etc, please send your info
to Bill McUmber (wem@itivax.iti.org, or ...sharkey!itivax!wem).

The current version of UUPC compiles just fine with Turbo C, and is a
big improvement over the original (it has a much better mailer
interface, it talks correctly to HDB UUCP's, etc).  It's the so-called
"interim" version, but it's been the interim version for a long time.
Its performance is far better than the UUCP that comes with UFGATE,
mainly because UFGATE's UUCP only supports a value of 1 for the
windows parameter.

I added a password file to the current version of UUPC (post-1.0-interim) and
recompiled with Turbo C, no problem.  The current version is available from
many places, not the least of which is uunet.
