- For Beta implementors only.
-
- uupc incorporates a streamlined version of dcp to implement a uucp mail
- and news delivery system.
-
- See README.DCP for dcp info.
- See README.UU for overview of this version.
-
- This directory implements the macintosh version of host support routines.
- It runs under the Aztec Shell environment.
-
- By moving the host dependant code into one file the other four dcp files can
- hopefully be maintained easily. It should be possible to maintain one version
- of them which compiles and runs on all machines without conditional compilation
- flags.
-
- To simplify things for other systems (Atari) use of -D in the cc command is
- not used. Instead various small files are used to set flags and then include
- a common file.
-
- host.h - include <host/host.h>
- mailhost.c - define MAIN mailmain; include <host/host.h>
- mlib.c - include <host/mlib.c>
- ulib.c - include <host/ulib.c>
- uuhost.c - define MAIN mailmain; include <host/host.h>
-
- mac/host.c - generic macintosh host, calls MAIN
- mac/host.h - macintosh host header file
- mac/mlib.c - mail library
- mac/ulib.c - uupc library
-
- mac/profile - a sample aztec profile file to set environment varialbes
-
- There is actually fairly little code here. I have a separate set of library
- routines for doing the standard things like directory support. See
- the shar file for the Macintosh library (maclib.shar).
-
- A separate uux command is included in uupc for the Macintosh (not finished yet).
- Called macbin it copies a MacBinary image from stdin to a Macintosh file.
- This allows macintosh files, including both forks and the finder info to be
- stored in a single file on the remote system. It can then be retrieved by:
-
- uux macfile > remotemac!macbin
-
- A standalone macbin will be available to convert a Macintosh file into a
- flat file with the MacBinary image.

- PS. July 29/87
-
- See the Amiga version for a genv.c that gets environment var's from
- a profile file directly. I havn't had time to try on mac yet.
-
- I have made a VERY PRELIMINARY start at a standalone version, but have
- not completed it yet. I hope to get more time to work on this early
- in the fall. In the meantime anyone who could get this running as a Mac
- application.... please feel free. And send me the changes.
