- Hello dear friends!
-
- This will be the last time that I'll have to care about Mercury UUCP -
- at least I hope so. Like I said to or three months ago, I've decided to
- release the sourcecode of Mercury UUCP. Now, here come some words about
- its status.
-
- Mercury UUCP is Shareware. That means, you are free to copy the stuff,
- pass it to friends, distribute it via any kind of network and install
- it on as many machines as you like. Otherwise it means, you are *not*
- allowed to sell it, or to gain money by distributing it. Also, you are
- allowed to install the package on your machine, but you are expected to
- send a shareware-fee to me, if you use it steadily. The amount of this
- fee depends upon the way you use Mercury UUCP, and who you are. See the
- file "README" for further informations.
-
- If you compile and/or change the source of Mercury UUCP, please alter
- the version description (defined in "defs.h") before. DO NOT just
- change the version number!
-
- Version "1.18" should become "1.18.sf.2" if it's the second
- ^^-----+

- release of a hacked up version by Steven Falken. Okay? Thanks.
-
- Mercury UUCP is the first program I wrote in C, and you can see that
- when looking at the code. When I started writing it (with megamax C), I
- didn't even have a C-library, so I had to write everything on my own. I
- learned very much by doing so, but I wonder whether anyone other than
- me will manage to compile the source. :-) Some newer parts of Mercury
- UUCP are to be compiled with Mark Williams C. They should be quite
- okay.
-
- Thanks to all those who helped me while developping the stuff!
-
- Have Fun,
- -Rod
