From root@mjbtn.mfee.tn.us:

> When do you expect the version 2.0 of UUPC to be ready for testing?

The current expectation is to get the official UUPC release 2.0 out
the door by June.

> Has work been done on a Usenet news reader to accompany UUPC?

No, we would like to see other people write/distribute that as a
separate package.

From rcj@rcjpc.killer.dallas.tx.us:

> ... the lack of a uucp program itself
> (for file transfers and the like) and support for news.

The `uucp' program, or one similar to it in function, will be there,
but "news support" has been split from UUPC into a separate project
so that anyone who want to can tackle it.

> how much change will be required to convert from this version to 2.0?

The conversion should be straight forward.
