Hope somebody who keeps it, will whow up. Yes, indeed, there is a hacked up version of UUPC (called PCmail) that is floating around on the network. Our group has a working version of PCmail that is available for download, etc, from the server on nimbus.elric.Sp.Unisys.COM. The best thing to do is to boot strap yourself by sending the mail message: send help to to: pcmail-request@nimbus.elric.Sp.Unisys.COM This will send a file of help explaining how to get other things from the archive server. There is a set of 4 floppies somewhere in the archive that comprises the installation floppies and its been hacked up into several pieces. Look for readme files that have been sparingly scattered throughout the archive. PLEASE NOTE!!!!! This server is actually a smallish PC (20M disk) running PCmail and dos, so DON'T flood the poor thing with requests!!!!!! If you do I will arbitrarily kill off randomly selected uucp jobs so that i will be able to get my job done..... (:-( If you want, for example, the entire set of 4 installation floppies, please request only a few chunks a day. Source code is also available. Note also that this software is still actively evolving, so if you get a non-working or working binary now, you may be able to check back in a month or two or three and discover a better version has been installed in the archive. derek -- Derek Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG || ..!uunet!rosevax!elric!hawkmoon!det w(612)681-6986 h(612)789-8643 "A proper king is crowned" -- Thomas B.
