Is it possible to obtain the protocol definition for UUCP? If so, where? -- Michael J Pluta (mikep@lakesys.UUCP) c/o | Tri-Sys Computer Corp., Inc. | 207 East Buffalo Street, Suite 600 | Milwaukee, WI 53202 |

As a matter of fact, it was (re)posted some time late last year to one of the appropriate comp. groups. If it is not still available to you locally, contact me personally and I will send it off. It is somewhat long so if I could compress&uuencode please let me know. If _enough_ other people request it I might consider reposting it myself. ============================================================================== CLAIMER: Well -- I wrote it!

The specs for the UUCP g protocol were posted to comp.std.unix in Volume 9, Number 55 on 11 Febuary 1987. I found it in comp.mail.uucp, where it had been posted by John Gilmore. It is troff source for a paper entitled ``Packet Driver Protocol'' by Greg Chesson. He wrote it while he was at Bell Laboratories (he's now at Silicon Graphics). I confirmed with him that it was approved by AT&T for release, and also that a parameter setting problem in the original paper was fixed. If you have a connection to the uunet machine, you can uucp it as comp.std.unix/packet.proto If you are on the ARPA Internet (ARPANET, MILNET, NSFnet, etc.), you can get it by anonymous ftp (login anonymous, password guest). If there is enough interest, I will repost it. John S. Quarterman, moderator, comp.std.unix, std-unix-request@uunet.uu.net.
