RELEASE NOTES
!! UUSER: is broken in this release
!! GETTY SERIAL PORT LOCKING HAS CHANGED YET AGAIN, Please refer to
UUMAN:LockSerial and UUMAN:Getty ... you MUST use the LockSerial
program to run a terminal program to override Getty.
DNEWS is much improved, but still needs a lot of work.
STANDARD README
* Seasoned AmigaUUCP users should refer to VERSION.DOC for a list of
fixes and additions.
* After you glance at the rest of this document refer to the
file "QuickSetup.DOC". Seasoned UUCP users may want to
glance at QuickSetup.DOC but spend the majority of their
time on SlowSetup.DOC
* UUCP should be tested via QuickSetup.DOC by inexperienced
UUCP users before attempting a real installation.
* The first floppy is bootable (note: distributions on networks
do not include commodore 1.3 system executables). The boot
sequence sets up the appropriate directories and assigns and
runs two programs (Getty and DCron) in the background before
giving you a standard CLI prompt.
The second floppy contains additional executables, manual pages,
and the source code.
* AVAILABILITY OF CNEWS. UUCP 1.08D and beyond comes with a
relatively limited news forwarder and batcher. It should work for
most peoples purposes and does have both upstream and downstream
batching/collection capability. If, however, you want to run the
more sophisticated CNEWS system you can obtain the CNEWS stuff
from:

email: ler@lerami.lonestar.org
uunet.uu.net!utacfd.arl.utexas.edu!egsner!lerami!ler
CNEWS TAKES UP 2 FLOPPIES, when requesting CNEWS from Larry, please
include $10 for his trouble (he will supply the disks). This is
similar to my own policy. Note that the software itself is free
and can be found on BBSs, BIX, and elsewhere, but requesting it
from us directly is really a service that we are not set up to
handle efficiently, and interrupts other work, thus the $10.
The CNEWS distribution, like the AmigaUUCP distribution, is too
large to send via email.
The keeper of the source for the CNEWS distribution is Frank J.
Edwards,
uunet.uu.net!pdn!palan!ckctpa!crash
* NEW USENET ALT GROUPS ARE NOW UP
alt.sys.amiga.uucp
alt.sys.amiga.uucp.patches
NOTE! The alt groups are linked in with the mailing list. If
you receive the alt groups, do NOT ask to be put on the mailing
list!
* AMIGA-UUCP MAILING LIST. If you wish to take part in discussions
and receive upgrades via email, you can get on the amiga-uucp
mailing list. There are TWO lists. Email your requests to:
amiga-uucp-request@uunet.uu.net
amiga-uucp-patches-request@uunet.uu.net
email to both request aliases if you wish to be on both mailing
lists.
The first group is for general discussion, the second group is for
sending patches, upgrades, large source and binary files, etc...
That is, sending mail to amiga-uucp hits both lists while sending
mail to amiga-uucp-patches hits only the patches list. To send
mail to a mailing list (i.e. so that EVERYONE gets the mail):
amiga-uucp@uunet.uu.net
amiga-uucp-patches@uunet.uu.net

** Credits **
P.S. I try not to imply favoritism and have attempted to put
together exactly who did what in this release. When possible,
history is given... and, of course, I know what I have done
much better than I know what other people have done so don't
take the below list as a 'who did the most' list... everyone
did a lot.
VERSION
This code was originally based on months of work on William P.
Loftus's Amiga UUCP 0.40 release with news code from his 0.60
release. The version number is shown at the top of this file.
x.xxD refers to versions originated by myself and have nothing to
do with WPL's version numbering.
Version numbers are of the form: m.rrD.ss Where m.rrD is
common to all executables and .ss is the individual revision number
associated with a particular executable and embedded in it. The
UIDENT command run on an executable will reveal its full version
id.
COPYRIGHTS
This distribution is freely redistributable as long as all files and
directory structures, except the 'system' directory which contains
commodore-amiga executables, remain intact. Redistributions
which include enhanced or additional modules while keeping the same
basic structure are allowed but discouraged (I would much rather you
sent the mods / additions to me and I will pass them on as is
appropriate, or send them to the amiga-uucp-patches alias).
Redistributions may charge fees at-cost (i.e. non- commercial and
non-profit). These terms may change at any time and all holders of
copyrights on code in the distribution may set their own terms
independant of any terms set in this document for related executable
modules and source in this distribution.
Copyrights contained in the source effect the specific source files
in question and the derived executable independant of other source
files and derived executables. For example, the GNU copyright does
not effect the 'sendmail' source and binaries which is entirely my
own code.
source containing the GNU copyright notice and derived executables are
subject to the GNU Emacs General Public License. This license is
available in the file man/GNU-LICENSE.
