-
- UUPC is an implementation of the Unix UUCP transfer protocol. It tries
- to be as similar to the Unix version as possible.
-
- It is used to transfer files in a batch mode from one system to another. As
- an extreme example of UUCP just look at Usenet; most of the systems that
- support Usenet are running some sort of UUCP, be it a Dos based system, a
- Unix based system or a VMS based system.
