You can call the SCO Xenix BBS at (714)898-8634 for the following
MS-DOS programs:

	mailsh13.arc	Full uucp mail system		116K bytes
	net_0727.arc	Full TCP/IP source code		450K bytes
			telnet,ftp,arp, etc
	pc_uucp.arc	A COMPLETE uucp package		112K bytes
			C and ASM source, docs,
			executables and more.
	uclone.arc	Full uucp send and		72K  bytes
			recieve package.
	uupc.tar	NEW uucp for pc's.		203K bytes

Which package should you get? I'm still downloading and trying to 
figure that one out myself. But it is nice to know the software
is available. I might just try them all!

There are also several other nice programs available, like a disk 
de-fragmenter called sst.arc. It's fast and works! 

I have no affiliation with this BBS, just a very satisfied user.
