UUPC uuio.exe Source Code
README file by Stephen C. Trier
This directory contains a section of the program code from the
UUPC-post-1.0-interim UUCP package. Compile this code with make to build the
uuio.exe program that provides communications with your neighboring systems.
This version of uuio is somewhat different from the standard UUPC
version. Instead of containing the pcmail.c software, it does a spawn() call
to MS-DOS to start an external rmail program. In this case, that program is
smail, in its rmail.exe form.
News handling has also been changed slightly. Rather than handling all
rnews requests internally, uuio now tries to spawn() an external rnews
program. If this attempt fails, it will process the article in its own limited
way, throwing it into the news directory with a unique numerical filename. In
this manner, I hope to make it easier for those people who wish to write their
own rnews programs.
Copyrights for the UUPC software are held by Richard Lamb and Stuart
Lynne, 1985-1987. I specifically do not claim a copyright to my modifications
to the UUPC package. This copyright applies to only the software inside this
directory, and in no way applies to the smail and passwd software distributed
in the other directories of this distribution. These files form a separate and
independent work, and their copyright notice shall in no way affect the public
domain status of the other files included in this distribution.
