I'm sorry that I didn't respond to earlier postings about UW.  The
volume in this newsgroup has grown so high that I don't have the time
to read it as closely as I once did.

The most current version of UW is still version 4.1, which is really
only a LSC-compiled equivalent of version 3.4.  (There are a very
small number of bug fixes.)  I still want to produce at least one
more release, but my time for UW has been extremely limited during
the past year.

UW is copyrighted, but it is free.  It was posted to "comp.binaries.mac"
early this year.  It is also available for anonymous FTP access from
both SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU and MORDOR.S1.GOV.  In both cases you need
to obtain the version 3.4 distribution and the version 4.1 upgrade.
On SUMEX-AIM the files are "UNIX-UW-34.PART[123456789]" and
"UNIX-UW.41.SHAR" in the INFO-MAC directory.  On MORDOR the files are
"uw.shar.[123456789]" and "uw41.shar".

I don't send UW by UUCP to non-neighbor sites because of the
transmission expense.  (In the past, some sites have set up temporary
UUCP links directly with MORDOR (where they place the calls) to
fetch UW by UUCP.)  I have avoided distributing UW by floppy because
of the hassles involved -- I don't have time to make floppies and
ensure that they reach the correct destinations.  (I know that this
is inconvenient, but I'd rather say "no" in advance than make a
promise that I might not be able to fulfill.)
