Yes, I have "uucp" and a mailer working on my system. But I don't think it's quite ready to release for general consumption yet (Just in the last hour I discovered a bug where it doesn't deal with spool files whose names are exactly 14 chars long...). The uucp is DCP with the g-packet driver stolen from UUPC (the latter being a better 3-window protocol to DCP's 1-window protocol). The mailer is "dmail", to which I've had to do a fair bit of hacking to get around its BSD-isms. I hacked together my own little teeny-weeny "sendmail", which doesn't work too well... Pete Housel mentioned that he got "smail" working on his machine. Pete? Could you tell me more? I took one look at smail and wondered if it would be worth the bother... but if you've got it working maybe I'd like to see it. I'll release these when I think they're ready. If some of you REALLY REALLY can't wait, I suppose I could send out alpha-test versions... but by email only... caveat downloader, and all that... +----------------+ Jim Paradis linus--+ +--+-------------+ | Encore Computer Corp. necntc--| | | E N C O R E | | 257 Cedar Hill St. ihnp4--+-encore!paradis | +-------------+--+ Marlboro MA 01752 decvax--| +----------------+ (617) 460-0500 talcott--+ ...coated with sesame seeds, and garnished with lark's vomit!
