[comp.mail.uucp] uucp protocol descriptions needed

leo@sunybcs (Leo Wilson) (01/18/88)

I am attempting to get uupc working on the Atari ST with no real success. I
have managed to get this program to compile, it does connect and get through
the init sequence. What it will not do is actually transfer files. Can anyone
point me to a description of just exactly what uucp's 'g' protocol is, and
what is expected from it? I have G.L. Chesson's Protocol Desctiption, and
Andrew Tanner's description of the messages, but these don't seem to get much
further than the init sequence. Please, no flames about uupc being broken, I
know it is. It seems to be pretty darned close to working, and that is what
counts right now.  Maybe when GNU uucp is officially released someone will
port it to my machine, but for the time being I need a dial-out uucp that will
work and that I can modify to suit my own needs. Again, any pointers to the
docs I need? Thanks, -Leo
