[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] fsuucp 1.1 release 5

cambler@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU (Fubar) (10/01/90)

Release 5 is now available for anonymous FTP via polyslo.calpoly.edu.

Please note the new file naming convention I'm using:

  fsuu##r#.zip
      || |----------------- the release number
      ||------------------- the version number in #.# form

  the file will always be in the pub directory. Any files that are in
  the tmp directory are unchecked. They get moved into the pub directory
  as soon as they are checked.

Here is the latest propoganda scoop:
---
FSUUCP Version 1.1 release 5 is the most current version of FSUUCP.

FSUUCP implements a UUCP/Usenet transfer protocol for MSDOS based machines.
it comes complete with a full 7 window uucico, uuxqt with rnews and rmail
capability, mail, readnews, postnews, uuq, uusnap, and news utilities like
batcher and expire. Unlike other packages, FSUUCP implements these programmes
as DOS commands directly. By putting the executables on your PATH, and setting
an environment variable pointing to your configuration file, you can have
UNIX mail and news on your MSDOS machine from the prompt, just like UNIX.

To get a copy of FSUUCP:

1. get it via anonymous FTP from polyslo.calpoly.edu. The file name will
   be fsuucp11.zip, not to be confused with fsuucp10.zip, which is the 1.01
   version.

2. Mail me the $35 shareware registration and I will mail you back a disk
   with a registered copy. Please specify:

   A. 3.5" 720K
   B. 5.25" 1.2Meg

3. Mail me a self-addressed stamped disk mailer with either formatted 5.25"
   1.2 Meg or 3.5" 720K or 1.44Meg disk. ***NO 360K DISKS!! IT WON'T FIT!! ***

The software has grown beyond 360K with the new installer and documentation.

Note that if you choose method 3, you DO NOT need to send the registration
until/if you decide to use fsuucp.

And, as always, any bug reports or wishlists will be addressed for future
releases. 

Coming Soon: FSBBS 2.0, Fubar Systems BBS with FSUUCP 1.x integrated
into the package, plus local boards, DYM, games, files, textfiles, complete
full-screen sysop utilities, termcap capability, scheduler, complete
development package available, fully expandable, pant pant pant. All this,
and shareware too.

Yes, but there is a problem with an earlier version that I must ask
if it has been solved?

The problem relates to an earlier version of FSUUCP. Does the
current version support calling up a ATT System V 3B2 machine?

If you are refering to the problem with creating the local file names
based on the remote site, it should work now. Why not get a copy and
give it a try...
