Take a look at UUPC (UUPC for Personal Computers) before you start off
on your own programs, you can probably save some time that way.

On BITNET, you can retrieve the UUPC sources distribution from the
server at LISTSERV@NDSUVM1.  Just send it the command "GET MINIX UUPCn",
where "n" is a digit between 0 and 8.

For more information on how to use the server, send it the "HELP" command.
