Has anyone built UUPC/PCMAIL under MS-DOS?  I tried to install UUPC
posted to the net on my PC (MS-DOS 3.2), it took me a while but I
finally got it built.  However, it will not talk to the COM1 port.
After traced thru the calls I found out the following in file ulib.c:

/*
   openline - open the serial port for I/O
*/
 
openline(name, baud)
char *name, *baud;
{
   int i;

   sscanf(name, "COM%d", &i);	<---- why take the addr of i?
   select_port(i);		<---- use i without knowing its content?
   save_com();
   install_com();
   sscanf(baud, "%d", &i);	<---- addr of i becomes the baud rate??
   open_com(i, 'D', 'N', STOPBIT, 'D');
   dtr_on();

   return(0);

} /*openline*/

Did I get a bad transmission?  If not, I wonder if this code has been
tested before released to USENET.  Is there any update after the 1st
release?
