It would be very nice if all the people doing fixes and enchancements for rfmail at least would post diffs to the rfmail mailing list (rfmail@otax.tky.hut.fi). Also asking whether someone already is doing this work is a good idea. >when porting to a system other then XENIX (especially BSD-UNIX). But BSD support is in rfmail 0.3.9. Don't know if anybody has actually used it, though. Partially my fault, as I haven't posted my versions, I guess.. How to get rfmail 0.3.9: ------- Rfmail is a program to convert Fidonet mail and echomail to rfc822 mail and newsgroups. It is not perfect but it works. System V.3 and up and BSD 4.3 have been tested, Xenix and older Unix versions may require couple of nights. By ftp: in Europe ftp nic.funet.fi, 128.214.6.100, directory pub/unix/mail/rfmail. in USA ftp ccb.ucsf.edu, 128.218.1.13, Pub/rfmail039.tar.Z By email: I can mail it to you if you find no way of ftp'ing it. Try other ideas first. By downloading it with modem: Call +358-0-8031121, login as guest. All times except European Fidonet ZMH and about an hour around it is reserved, otherwise login is ok. Modems supported are V32 and V22bis, MNP 5, I have multitech v32. Protocols supported are those supported by unix zmodem, ie. zmodem itself, ymodem and xmodem. Please notice this number is in Finland and it may be costly call. Also notice that poor phone line quality may make connection impossible. Modem may be often reserved for long time. If it is busy for couple of calls it probably will stay busy for several hours. By Fidonet file request: Not from my system, but try mailing to rfmail@otax.tky.hut.fi. By uucp: Not from my system, but try mailing to rfmail@otax.tky.hut.fi. By normal mail, on floppy: I can copy it for you on floppy, either 1.2M or 360K. Send me a mailer, ready with addresses and all so I can just stick it in the mail. To cover mail expenses, please send me couple of extra floppies. Rfmail distribution needs either one 1.2M floppy or two 360k floppies. Please specify if you want ms-dos format or straight unix tar format. Ms-dos format is better for me but I can do both. My address is: Heikki Suonsivu Kuutamokatu 5 A 7 02210 Espoo FINLAND Other possibilities: Mail rfmail@otax.tky.hut.fi and ask, it may be possible that someone nearer you already has it. This is preferable specially if you are in west side of the atlantic, Europe is connected to US with heavily used slow link. How to join rfmail mailing list: Mail owner-rfmail@otax.tky.hut.fi I post diffs to rfmail in rfmail@otax.tky.hut.fi. If you arrange rfmail to be available somehow, please notify me so that I can add it to this list. Fidonet file request and anynoumous uucp sites are the most interesting.
