I don't believe that 4.0 has it, either. What I run on DECWRL is essentially Rick Adams' 4.3BSD UUCP. The port took a few hours, mostly the TERMIO vs. USG stuff. There is a (small) chance that the 4.4BSD UUCP will compile and run on Ultrix; it depends on me getting time to integrate my changes into Rick's latest version, and on Rick's willingness to put things in that are only needed on one vendor's version of U*X. None of this is useful unless you can get the 4BSD sources, of course. I suggest telling your salescritters that you want this and that you will probably buy a competitor's hardware just to get it. This could give the Ultrix Engineering people the impetus and resources they need to put some effort into UUCP. -- Paul Vixie DEC Western Research Lab Palo Alto, California {ames,att,uunet}!decwrl!vixie
