The Dutch user said that he had a wierd operating system; to me, this
implies he is not running any UNIX or VMS.

There is no VMS compile switch in the copy of UUPC *I* have, and to my
knowledge there is separate VMS version, although they were working on
it.  The interim.arc is just that, an interim release, and I know for a
fact that certain things are broken in it (like the Hayes support)
because I fixed my copy; I am going to send them my updates and let
them decide what do with my hacks.
