V1.08D
The version number is 1.08D
NOTE!!!!!: The UUSER: device is broken for this release, do not use.
DNews is better, but not all fixes/additions have been made
yet (otherwise the release wouldn't happen until July!)
* 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 1.07D currently 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

* 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. To do so email:
amiga-uucp-request@overload.Berkeley.CA.US
or
amiga-uucp-patches-request@overload.Berkeley.CA.US
The first group is for general discussion, the second group is
a superset of the first and 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
either mailing list, send to:
amiga-uucp@overload.Berkeley.CA.US
or
amiga-uucp-patches@overload.Berkeley.CA.US
Do NOT send email to *both* groups!

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.
