In response to the recent "UUCP for PCs" query, a number of network 
readers have asked us to post rather lengthy technical descriptions of
our UULINK product to the net.  I don't feel that a lengthy posting would be
appropriate, but since there seems to be considerable interest in the
product from the community, here is a paragraph regarding its basic
capabilities.  If you wish more information please contact us directly--
please be sure to include a U.S. Mail address.  Thanks much.

UULINK provides a comprehensive UUCP/mail/file transfer, etc. package 
for MS-DOS.  UULINK communications are compatible with standard UUCPs, 
including support for "multiple-packet full-duplex/windowing" operations. 
The package runs on MS-DOS systems on IBM-PC's or compatibles. 
It provides both binary and ascii file transfer (spooled and/or direct,
with the work queued either locally or remotely), remote access, logging, 
security controls, etc.  It can operate fully unattended for incoming
and/or outgoing calls (the latter through a built-in "cron" mechanism 
and user-configurable dialing sequences).  It handles standard UUCP mail
messages, both single-hop and multiple-hop (i.e. it will act as an 
intermediate UUCP mail forwarding node if desired).  It generates and handles
RFC 822 compatible headers (To:, From:, etc.), and includes support for 
processing and routing domain style addresses (e.g. FOO@BAR.SITE.COM) as well
as conventional UUCP addresses.  Multiple users may have separate mailboxes 
and related separate configuration specifications (editor choices, display 
parameters, etc.) on the same UULINK node.  Its mail reading program allows 
for header displays, message replies, forwarding of messages to others,
sorting mail to/from specific mail folders, etc.  The ability to send and
receive Usenet "netnews" articles is included.  UULINK provides both "local" 
and "global" mail aliases, distribution (mailing) lists, and a wide variety 
of other features.
