I am trying to get my PC talking via UUPC to my IBM RT/AIX v2.2.1 running HDB UUCP at work. The documentation I have with my UUPC is dated August 1987. I have looked around uunet.uu.net and that appears to be the latest one there. (if not, please let me know where to get the latest and greatest) I can send mail fine from my PC to the RT. I can uucp a file from the RT to the PC fine. However, when mail is sent from the RT to the PC, it is transferred into the spool directory but never delivered. I have tried having my PC call a SUN running SUNOS3.4 and mail trasnfers fine in both directions. Anybody have any clues for me? I'm about to delve into the sources, but if anyone has an answer for me it'd save me a lot of time. Advance thanx, John H.

(if not, please let me know where to get the >latest and greatest) The first publicly distributed version of UUPC made some overly restrictive assumptions about what X. filenames look like; as a result, it won't work when talking to an HDB site, because HDB names the files differently than version 7-based UUCPs do. Fortunately, the latest and greatest UUPC does work with HDB sites, and is also much nicer in other ways (better interface to the mailer, for instance). I am now using the "post-1.0-interim" version, which I UUCP'ed off of van-bc. It may or may not be available at uunet yet. It can be FTP'd from a variety of places. -- -- Joe Buck jbuck@epimass.epi.com, uunet!epimass.epi.com!jbuck This is the true joy in life ... being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. - G.B.
