I'm sure this question has been asked before(once or twice, maybe), but
is it possible to get some subset of uucp working on a non-Unix mainframe?
We have two Suns and an anachronistic Univac 1100/81 in-house.  The
Univac systems people, feeling somewhat left out by the networked Suns,
want a fairly streamlined method of file transfer to/from the Suns like
uucp.  I am therefore passing along their request in the form of the following
series of questions, roughly graded from 'wishful thinking' to 'possible':

a) Does anyone have uucp working on a Univac 1100/81 ?

b) Does anyone have a version of uucp in Fortran, with the understanding
       that a few system-dependent machine language routines may be
       necessary ?

c) Is the specification of the uucp protocol proprietary, and if not,
       is a copy of the appropriate documentation available anywhere ?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.  Please mail replies to me.
