Blars Uucp for Osk March 9, 1992
This is distributed as-is, it works for me (on my Qt20x running osk
2.3) (the other ports of uucp for osk did not) but may not for you. I
have transfered files to and from all unix systems I've tried, and one
MSDOS one. If I ever get around to putting much more work into UUCP
for Os9, I'll probably start from scratch porting Ion Taylors version.
This is a uucp clone for os9/68k. Since the uucico trafer protocol
does not have any way to indicate binary or text files, all files are
always transfed in binary mode. The uucp and uux programs by default
convert from osk style line endings (CR) to unix style (LF) on
outgoing files unless a binary option is specified. Incoming files
will arive with unix style line endings. (The trlf program is useful
to convert.) (One of many bugs I removed from this implementation was
the inability to transfer binary files.)
Blarslib is required. Trlf and Cron are recomended.
Mail is not included with this distribution because I have not yet got
a version I consider fully functional. A fully functional mail package
will probably be big enough to distribute separatly anyway.
I recomend the books "Managing uucp and usenet" and "Using uucp and
usenet" for a good overview of what uucp is about and how to configure
it. If your local bookstore doesn't have them you can order them
directly from O'reilly associates.
I've dropped all the documentation that was no longer correct for this
version, I felt it would be more confusing than useful.
maker is a shell command to run make. Needed because of bugs in make.
You can ask questions of me at blarson@usc.edu. No guarenteed answer.
Setup:
/h0/Ulib/uucp needs two files:
Systems:
lgnp1 Never /t2 HAYES 19200 g OK ATS50=255S110=0S111=30DT12153489727 CONNECT "" ogin: nuucp
uunet Never /t2 HAYES 19200 g OK ATS50=255S110=0S111=30DT19004687727 CONNECT "" ogin: uucp
test Never /t2 HAYES 19200 g OK AT
Commands:
# legal commands for uuxqt
# rmail
rnews
/h0/spool/uucp contains spool directories for each system and .Error
and .Log subdirectories.
Typical entries in crontab:
23,53 * * * * uucico -r1 ^127 >>>/nil
21 2,6,10,14,18,22 * * * uupoll abode
02 23 * * * uupoll mcws
