[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] UUPC

beni@tglobe2.tollpost-globe (Beni Ruef) (05/07/91)

We're looking for a cheap/free UUCP implementation running under Messy DOS.
We know about UUPC (well, we heard about it :-) and are wondering

a) about people's experiences with it
   and
b) where to get it EASILY (no, we don't have FTP)


Thanks & Cheers
-Beni


P.S. What happened with fsuucp ?

Grape.ecs.clarkson.edu is the canonical distribution point.  And, it's callable
by modem: (315)268-6667.  Look in pub/msdos/uupc.

The mother of all bugs... (Yeah, I hate that phrase, too :-))

Actually, there *is* a bug in the uucico programme that isn't getting
as much time as it should lately because of school (which is why
fsuucp is shareware and not commercial. i can't devote the time to
it and the support to it that i'd like to). I'm pretty confident that
i've fixed it, though, and am just being double-sure before releasing
it.

What is the airspeed velocity of a coconut... no, wait, that's something
else.
