Actually I took a version that was supposedly already ported to the ST,
and made it work.  The version I started with was from uunet.

Unfortunately, I never had the time to do much more with it either.

>"Is there a running version of UUPC for the ST somewhere?"

My version works well enough to transport news to the ST (in fact, I'm pretty
sure that the version I posted contained a very primitive "rnews" filter that
just put the news files in an "incoming news" directory for later processing)
and mail works fine too.  It's not the most reliable beast in the world, but
it's not too bad.

For those who don't already have my program, send the word "help" to
archive-server%panarthea.ebay@sun.com for information about accessing the
comp.sources.atari.st archives.  (There is also a GFA-BASIC uucp package
called "MailTruk"...)
