However, several folks are working on GNUUUCP, which *will* offer mail (including ports of smail and pathalias) *and* news (including rn, I think) on raw VMS. Last I heard, they were aiming for beta test in late February or March; I'm on the test list but haven't heard anything in a while, so I guess there've been a few gremlins. Anyway, I'm *not* working on it in any way, so please don't send me mail asking for more details. I'll pester the authors to post something or do it myself if they don't have time. Stay tuned to this channel. -- Karl Swartz |UUCP decvax!formtek!ditka!kls 1-412/937-4930 office | {pitt,psuvax1}!idis!formtek!ditka!kls |BIX kswartz "I never let my schooling get in the way of my education."
