[comp.mail.uucp] UUCP and usenet on the PICK OS

lyndon@alberta.UUCP (Lyndon Nerenberg) (02/10/88)

I am considering implementing a uucp clone on the PICK Operating
system. I would ideally like to get both the mail and the news
facilities running, but realize that the project I am talking about is
very large, and will have to be done in stages. Therefore to get
things started, I would like to find out exactly how uucp sends things
between machines.

PICK is not at all like UNIX, and does not support the C language.
With that in mind, I need to know exactly what protocols are used,
what files look like (headers, etc). 

I already have a listing of some uucp clones, but these are written in
C, and therefore need to be completely redone for my purposes. If
anyone knows either where I can find the protocols, or better still of
someone who has done this before on a non-unix machine (ie not in C),
I would appreciate them sending me a buzz at:
