A friend of mine does not have acces to anything but VAX'es running VMS.
Is there uucp and news software available for VMS ?

Please e-mail any responses.

     As SILLY as this might sound, he could try snagging a copy of UUPC
and try compiling the C code so that it would work on the VAX.  There
might even be a VMS compile switch for it.  Also, I think that NNTP might
even work on VMS; I think it has a "VAX" compile switch.  Finally, I recall
a basic kind of document kinda getting into this in news.newusers..

The Dutch user said that he had a wierd operating system; to me, this
implies he is not running any UNIX or VMS.

There is no VMS compile switch in the copy of UUPC *I* have, and to my
knowledge there is separate VMS version, although they were working on
it.  The interim.arc is just that, an interim release, and I know for a
fact that certain things are broken in it (like the Hayes support)
because I fixed my copy; I am going to send them my updates and let
them decide what do with my hacks.
