I've been basically off-net for about the past year, so a lot of UW
inquiries and mail have gone unanswered.

I don't think the UW distribution is still available on MORDOR.S1.GOV.
Anonymous FTP access was shut off there in the wake of bug fixes after
the Internet virus incident.

At present I (the author) don't even have an online copy of the UW
distribution.  I've just changed jobs, and although I'm in Illinois,
most of my files and hardware are still sitting in California.  RASCAL
is your best bet.

I never distributed the Macintosh source code for UW.  There was to be
one final, complete and wonderful distribution in which sources were to
be included; however, my job changed and I ran out of time.  I wanted
to clean up some of the horrible things which still reflect its origins
in (ugh) Megamax C before I'd let anyone else see it.
