I would be very interested in providing a speedier version
of Mac/gnuucp. I am trying to locate the original writers
of UUPC to see if they would be willing to contribute the code.
The UUPC code is copyrighted and I don't feel like I can use
it freely. Of course, I must admit that I feel that with all
the use Mac/gnuucp has gotten that is probably more reliable
so I would be reluctant to pitch out the engine completely.

If anybodyu knows the whereabouts of the UUPC authors I'd
love to hear from them. It seems a shaqme to have 2 half
functional programs.
