You know, with all the public domain software out there, I'm surprised that
a PD uucp hasn't been written for Amigas/STs/IBM PCs/Unix Machines.  I've seen
at least 4 major mail systems posted to mod.sources.  For that matter, I'm
surprised that a PD version of "vi" hasn't been written.  There's been several
versions of microemacs, a couple of public domain emacs, tvx, se, and other's
I can't think of.  If someone wrote a PD version of vi, it would make a lot of
micro owners happy.
