UUPC/extended 1.10a is now available via anonymous FTP from sun.soe.clarkson.edu, directory uupc. This is a small free package for MS-DOS and OS/2 which exchanges mail with remote systems using the UUCP "g" procotol, and includes a UNIX-like mail user interface. It does NOT include news reading support. Major changes for this release include: Generic modem support Addition of native OS/2 communications support. A new file has been added to the UUPC/extended archives, UUPC10A2.ZIP, with the OS/2 executables. A new UUCP command to directly copy files between between two systems without using the MAIL interface. The ability to gateway mail from UUPC/extended to an external program, such the mail delivery program for LAN. UUPOLL now supports automatically terminating polling after a user specified interval. Improved routing via domains, including wildcard routing. The NOVRSTRK program will now correctly format the online version of the documentation from the printed version. Looping mail is now detected after a user specified number of transfers between systems. And, of course, the usual bug fixes. Additional numerous changes are documented in the file CHANGES.PRN included in the user archive. Note: Special thanks go to Harry Broomhall, Cliff Stanford, and Harald Boegeholz for providing me with many of the various enhancements related to UUCP and UUIO in this release. UUPC/extended is distributed in several .ZIP format archives, each with a name of the format of UUPCxxx#.ZIP, where 'xxx' are the last three digits of the release number, and '#' is a character denoting which archive it is. UUPCxxxU is the User archive, and includes the MS-DOS versions of the executable files, formatted documents, and sample files. This is the only archive you need if you only to run the unmodified programs on MS-DOS. UUPCxxx2 is the OS/2 archive, and includes the OS/2 versions of the executable files. It does NOT include the formatted documents or sample files. UUPCxxxS is the source archive, and includes the source files, makefiles, and the samples. UUPCxxxW is the Windows archive, which includes the unformatted documents, most of which are written in Microsoft Word for Windows. For this release, 'xxx' (the release number) is "10A". If you are unable to access the archives on sun.soe.clarkson.edu by FTP and do not have the previous release's documentation on other sources for UUPC/extended, please send mail to help@kendra.kew.com for a list of places it can retrieved from mail archive server or via direct downloading.
