See the cover letter in this posting. Sources follow in parts 2-5. echo 'x - COVER' sed 's/^X//' <<'**-COVER-EOF-**' >COVER XThis is my version of the UUPC program, adapted for Minix and other XUnix systems. UUPC was originally written by Richard Lamb and Stuart XLynne, and posted to comp.sources.misc. X XThe packet protocol code is entirely mine, and has been posted in Xexactly the same form in comp.mail.uucp. Most of the rest of the Xchanges have been made to adapt the program to a Unix-like Xenvironment, and do things much the same way as the native UUCP program Xdoes them. Most of the "portability features" were ripped out when Xthey got in the way of being a straightforward "native Unix" Xprogram. Quite a few bugs were fixed. Most of the code has been Xre-indented. The dialer code is by John F. Haugh, from his Xcomp.sources.unix posting. X XIt works quite reliably on my PC/AT-clone running Minix-1.3c. Many, Xmany megabytes of files, news, and mail have gone through it since XOctober '88. It has even been used for mail between two Minix systems. X XThis posting is not for everybody, however. I haven't cleaned it up Xand made it easy to install, or written any documentation. You should Xbe a bit of a UUCP wizard, or motivated enough to become one. I am Xposting this because there seem to be quite a few interested people Xout there who meet this description. X XFor references, see "UUCP Implementation Description", by D.A. Nowitz X(in the V7 and BSD documentation), or _Managing_UUCP_and_Usenet_, in Xthe Nutshell Handbooks series by O'Reilley and Associates. These may Xor may not be helpful. X XFor a mail transport agent, I recommend (though not very strongly) Xsmail 2.5, from the comp.sources.unix archives; anyone who wants a copy Xof my "defs.h" file, just ask. X XGood luck! X-Peter S.
