Is there a version of UUCP available for the Mac? The primary purpose would be to send/receive email and to send/receive files. Dialing would be under control of the Mac. The ability to read/send news is not required. Since we don't do any programming on the Mac, what I'm looking for is a place/company to get complete binaries from. Thanks in advance. -- ##################################################################### # CompuServe: >INTERNET:uunet.UU.NET!ki!dwatts Dan Watts # # UUCP : ...!uunet!ki!dwatts Ki Research, Inc. # ############### New Dimensions In Network Connectivity ##############

It is available for anonymous ftp from sumex-aim.stanford.edu in the info-mac/comm directory. The files are: 172002 Jan 14 1990 ./comm/uupc-20-source.hqx 112859 Jan 14 1990 ./comm/uupc-20.hqx I have this running on my mac+ at home. It works fine for email. No it's not a typo, it is called UUPC but it does UUCP g protocol file transfers. If you've never written a chat script you will find it difficult to get working, IMHO. And now a question: has anyone gotten mail aliases to work in UUPC 2.0 on the mac? I have RTFM, but it is not particularly clear. -- John Palkovic (708) 840-3527 linac!palkovic, palkovic@linac.fnal.gov University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dept. of Physics Home: johnny@linac.fnal.gov, linac!jpmac!johnny

Binaries and source for GNUucp for the Mac (ported to THINK C) are avaible from the think-c list archive with anonymous ftp at ics.uci.edu. Vide infra (thats 'see below' in Algol 60 :-) for more details. It is of course completly free!

O'Dell"@ICS.UCI.EDU Date: 08 May 90 00:00:00 PST Mac/gnuucp 2.6 Mac/gnuucp is a port of the Free Software Foundations GNUUCP to the Macintosh. As with all of the Free Software Foundation code, complete source code is available and will be posted to the net soon. Mac/gnuucp actually consists of two separate pieces a Hypercard card through whcih mail is read and sent and the communications program itself. The program has successfully communicated with Suns, DEC Vaxes running, COMPAQ 386s and remote copies of itself. In addition to standard Unix UUCP compatibility the program supports mailing lists, called aliases and customization through a gnuucp.ctl file. Mail is delivered to users by writing the mail to a standard Macintosh file. Because of this, a group of users on almost any type of Appletalk network can use the program to send mail locally and to the internet. A complete manual is included along with instructions for registering your Mac on the internet and for obtaining a domain name. Information is also included on finding a "Well Connected" internet host.

Someone else has already responded by mentioning UUPC, but having used UUPC for a while and happily traded it in for a much better product, I thought I'd tell you what that is. UMCP\QM is a gateway product from Information Electronics that connects the QuickMail e-mail system on the Mac to the Internet via uucp dialup (or direct serial) connections. It combines the best of both worlds... it's the flexibility and power of a connection to the worldwide mail networks, with the ease of use of a superb Macintosh mail system. If you have any questions about UMCP\QM, I'd be happy to answer them, or you can contact Information Electronics yourself at 607-257-5840 (or by fax at 607-257-0073, or e-mail at infoelect@ie.com). I have been using UMCP\QM since before its release, and I've been beta testing it all that time. I use it VERY actively, and I'm VERY pleased with it. For a demo... send me mail at mha@baka.uucp, my UMCP\QM address. The message will arrive on my Macintosh desktop in my QuickMail window, and I'll respond from there. -- Mark H.
