Archive-site: polyslo.calpoly.edu [129.65.17.1] Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) Just to keep you all up to date, since there has been some activity in the pc-uucp arena, FSUUCP no longer uses the old gnuucp drivers. It now implements full 3 && 7 window g transfer, and is much faster. It is also being ported to c++ for an increased speedup (as well as new features including mail routing and more). The current version out (the one with the gnuucp driver) is 1.01 and is available at polyslo.calpoly.edu. Version 1.1, incorporating the new driver and more features is under development and will be released as soon as it is done. I will no longer give deadlines because they are always missed and that upsets me more than anyone else. All floppies we have received in the past 4 weeks as well as those we are currently receiving are being held until 1.1 is ready. If you have sent floppies and would like to receive 1.01 in the meantime, please drop me a note, and I'll send them off, and then mail you 1.1 when it is ready (postage and disks on me). If you send floppies now, I will hold them for 1.1, unless you specifically request 1.01. I can't afford to do the above for everyone, though, only those who have already sent their disks. Sorry. We are working as hard as we can between school hours (some of us are foolish enough to be trying to graduate) to get 1.1 done. I think that everyone will think it worth the wait, as there is much improvement even over 1.01 due to large user feedback. Thanks to everyone helping... -- ++Christopher(); --- cambler@polyslo.calpoly.edu --- chris@fubarsys.slo.ca.us --- Ever get the feeling that there is someone out there who understands you completely?
