Greetings from the Wonderworks.
UUPC/extended 1.10a is now available via anonymous FTP from
sun.soe.clarkson.edu, directory uupc. This is a small free package for
MS-DOS and OS/2 which exchanges mail with remote systems using the UUCP
"g" procotol, and includes a UNIX-like mail user interface. It does NOT
include news reading support.
Major changes for this release include:
Generic modem support
Addition of native OS/2 communications support. A new file
has been added to the UUPC/extended archives, UUPC10A2.ZIP,
with the OS/2 executables.
A new UUCP command to directly copy files between between
two systems without using the MAIL interface.
The ability to gateway mail from UUPC/extended to an external
program, such the mail delivery program for LAN.
UUPOLL now supports automatically terminating polling after
a user specified interval.
Improved routing via domains, including wildcard routing.
The NOVRSTRK program will now correctly format the online
version of the documentation from the printed version.
Looping mail is now detected after a user specified number
of transfers between systems.
And, of course, the usual bug fixes.
Additional numerous changes are documented in the file CHANGES.PRN
included in the user archive.
Note: Special thanks go to Harry Broomhall, Cliff Stanford, and Harald
Boegeholz for providing me with many of the various enhancements related
to UUCP and UUIO in this release.
UUPC/extended is distributed in several .ZIP format archives, each
with a name of the format of UUPCxxx#.ZIP, where 'xxx' are the last
three digits of the release number, and '#' is a character denoting
which archive it is.
UUPCxxxU is the User archive, and includes the MS-DOS versions of
the executable files, formatted documents, and sample files.
This is the only archive you need if you only to run the
unmodified programs on MS-DOS.
UUPCxxx2 is the OS/2 archive, and includes the OS/2 versions of
the executable files. It does NOT include the formatted
documents or sample files.
UUPCxxxS is the source archive, and includes the source files,
makefiles, and the samples.
UUPCxxxW is the Windows archive, which includes the unformatted
documents, most of which are written in Microsoft Word for
Windows.
For this release, 'xxx' (the release number) is "10A".
If you are unable to access the archives on sun.soe.clarkson.edu by FTP
and do not have the previous release's documentation on other sources
for UUPC/extended, please send mail to help@kendra.kew.com for a list of
places it can retrieved from mail archive server or via direct
downloading.
[USENET Note ... I am including the alternate download instructions in a
second post. -ahd-]
