- 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.

- 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
