They're available for anonymous ftp in the src/netimpl/UUCP directory
on bu.edu -- uucp-proto* document the g protocol (also available from
ftp.cs.toronto.edu as doc/uucp-proto*)

Another good document on the g protocol is "UUCP G protocol" by Jamie
E. Hanrahan, Session UNO47, Fall 1990 DECUS Symposium, Las Vegas,
Nevada.  An electronic copy *may* be somewhere in the
src/netimpl/UUCP/DECUS tree on bu.edu -- I haven't checked.

dcp.tar.Z is the oldest uucico clone there, I think uupc is derived
from it.  uuslave-hoptoad is John Gilmore's uucico clone, gnuuucp is a
more recent/complete version. (it hasn't changed since Apr 1989 and
isn't the latest version.  John Gilmore says it isn't in a released
state, just a snapshot of his working src).  DECUS/ contains the DECUS
(VMS) UUCP (VMSNET).  A more recent uupc is on sun.soe.clarkson.edu in
pub/uupc.  fsuucp is MSDOS shareware.  A more recent fsuucp can be
found on polyslo.calpoly.edu:/pub/fsuu*.zip.
