Is uucp available (either freeware or shareware) for DOS? I have a uucp account, but no uucp software to connect to it. :-( Thanks... -- Dan Cogswell dlcogswe@vela.acs.oakland.edu

Or you can go to directory /mirrors/msdos/uupc to get the latest version of uupc (a unix to unix copy for PC). Good Hunting.
