I use UUPC 1.11r currently, and this information is extracted from the docs
for 1.11q (the last docs version) from COMMANDS.TXT under UUPOLL:
-s system System name to poll. Default is "all" followed by
"any", which cannot be explicit specified.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
!
(I'm not sure what this means...)
We have a network installation here, and a dedicated machine that runs
UUPOLL all day. We invoke UUPOLL from a batch file (CALLANY.BAT) that
forces a poll to them every twelve hours. The following is CALLANY.BAT:
uupoll -i 0005 -d 1200 -s any
uustat -P nwnexus
callany
This basically checks to see if there's any work to be done every five
minutes (-i 0005), and terminates after 12 hours (-d 1200). After UUPOLL
terminates, the batch file takes over and forces a poll to our mail server
(nwnexus) and then runs itself again. After UUPOLL runs for five minutes
this second time, it notices that it has work to do (the poll I did) and
calls NWNEXUS.
If you want to poll the site that can't poll you every hour, just change
the -d 1200 to -d 0100 and change the NWNEXUS to the name of the site
you want to poll every hour.
If there is mail to go out, it will automatically get sent at most after
the interval specified by "-i".
Is this what you wanted to know, or am I completely out of the park?

Subject: Unix Permissions file
There was some traffic on the net recently about problems with using UUPC
to talk to unix system that have the /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions file.
Having had these problems and sorted them out by a combination of repeated
RTFM'ing, calling Tech Support at a SCO supplier and guesswork, I have
worked up a reasonable rule of thumb which, although probably excessively
lax for the very security conscious, works ok for me.
The Permissions file has entries for LOGNAME (for incoming calls from other
machines) and MACHINE for outgoing calls to other machines. Fine. The one
point more often missed than any other seems to be the caveat that for
those systems that call you, ALL THEIR LOGIN IDS MUST APPEAR IN A SINGLE
LOGNAME ENTRY. This one can drive you potty. You put in one system and it
works. You add a second, as a second LOGNAME entry and it doesn't work.
You are looking at everything else except Permissions because you *know*
uucp must be OK because the first system is working!
My Permissions file looks like this (names changed to protect the guilty):
LOGNAME=usys1:usys2:usys3:usys4:usys5:usys6:usys7:usys8:usys9:usys10 \
COMMANDS=rmail:rnews:uucp \
READ=/ \
WRITE=/ \
SENDFILES=yes REQUEST=no
MACHINE=sys1:sys2:sys3:sys4:sys5:sys6:sys7:sys8:sys9:sys10 \
COMMANDS=rmail:rnews:uucp \
READ=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/tmp:/tmp \
WRITE=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/tmp:/tmp \
SENDFILES=yes REQUEST=no
I have always made a habit of giving each incoming system a separate login id
formed from the name of the system with "u" added. I find it makes tracking
easier. Hence, LOGNAME shows "u"sys1 and MACHINE shows just sys1.
If you are just running plain vanilla HDB UUCP, then just make sure the
/usr/lib/uucp/Systems file is right and the mail should flow. If you are
running mmdf (e.g. SCO UNIX), then for the outgoing mail to get anywhere
you need to make sure that the uucp files in /usr/mmdf/table are OK, (unless
you are routing out through a single or smart host by just using the badhosts
channel to forward everything unrecognised to somewhere else) e.g.:
#
# uucp.chn
#
sys1.UUCP: sys1!%s
sys2.UUCP: sys2!%s
... etc ...
#
# uucp.dom domain file for all *.UUCP
#
sys1: sys1.UUCP
sys2: sys2.UUCP
... etc ...
Hope this helps anyone who has been struggling with this!
I'm sure someone will write in to point out that I have got this all wrong!

Subject: PC-ELM and UUPC
There has been some netchat recently about using PC-ELM with UUPC.
Herewith my experiences ...
I obtained the PC-ELM 2.1 archive. The archive is incomplete. In particular,
it did not contain the file PCENV.BAT, referred to in what passes for the
documentation, which shows example of how to configure the environment
variables. I found that the only variable which has to be set is HOME, to
point to the directory containing the PC-ELM config file, which *is*
called ELM.RC (docs say it is called BM.RC but can be changed in the
source to be somthing else - someone has already done this!). I set the
ELM.RC file as follows:
# configuration file for Bdale's Mailer... format is:
# host <space> this_host_name
# uucphost <space> UUCP host name
# user <space> this_user_name
# fullname <space> your full name for mail headers (optional)
# reply <space> your reply address if not this machine (optional)
# useful for pc on large network off smart hosts
# smtp <space> path to mailboxes default /spool/mail
# edit <space> path your editor (optional)
# maxlet <space> max number of message in mbox ( optional default 300)
# video <1|0> direct | bios video mode ( turbo C only default direct )
# startmode <0|1> uucp v nos mail standards - use 1 mostly
# zone <space> your timezone
#
host omega.uucp
uucphost omega
user ash
fullname Andrew Hardie
reply ash@omega.uucp
edit c:\usr\bin\ed.exe
smtp /tmp/ash
maxlet 600
video 1
startmode 0
zone GMT
Originally, I had the startup mode set to 1 (nos/smtp mailbox). This read
a mailbox file OK, provided it was called (in my case) ash.txt. For the
startmode of 0 (uucp), nothing - complained that it "could not stat file
c:/tmp/ash/ash." Made a file called c:/tmp/ash/ash. - still no luck.
Looked at the code - in uucp mode, it looks for separator lines the begin
"From uucp"; that went out in UUPC ages ago (right Drew?). I am no C
programmer and although I do have Turbo C I couldn't be bothered to set it
up to fix this. However, I am a great fan of patching binaries with NU.
Attacked PCELM.EXE; changed the first instance of "From uucp" to "From <00>"
(where <00> is binary 00, which I assume to be a string terminator in Turbo
C parlance. It now read the mailbox, but was fooled by lines in a mail file
that started "From ", even though they weren't the real start. Tried changing
the string to "CR LF From <00>"; no good. Then I tried changing the entire
"From uucp" string to all binary 01s, as used by UUPC as the mail message
separator. This worked a treat; read the file reliably and was no longer
fooled by the false From lines. There is a second instance of "From uucp"
in the file; I didn't change that as I didn't know what it did - may be for
outgoing?
Next, I tried a reply and got the "From /dev/null!ash" problem, as described
by a number of correspondents. Looked at the code to see where it invokes
rmail. Remembered that someone had said that rmail may need to be invoked
with the -t option in this circumstance. Tried patching the part of the
binary that had "rmail %s < UUCPMAIL.$$$" to "rl -t %s < UUCPMAIL.$$$", with
rmail.com copied to rl.com, so as to keep the string the same length.
rmail complained about "missing or additional" stuff on command line. Then
tried "rmail -t < UUCPMAIL.$$$", assuming that rmail was supposed to find
the intended recipient from the "To: " line in the message (in the absence
of any docs for rmail ...). rmail then complained that there was no-one to
send the message to. Got bored with this and then just changed the "rmail
%s < UUCPMAIL.$$$" to "mail %s < UUCPMAIL.$$$" (note the two spaces before
%s, again to keep thestring the same length). This worked, both on replies
and for originating mail within PC-ELM and had the additional benefit of
appending my UUPC .sig file which PC-ELM does not support (I don't think!).
Drew: I'd appreciate knowing whether this is "A Bad Thing" to do and
where "rmail" is appropriate (I thought it was only for delivering mail,
not creating or replying). Perhaps PC-ELM can't make up its mind whether
it is a User agent or a Mail agent!
After I had finished messing about with this, I found 4 lost clusters,
as reported by another correspondent. I have not used PC-ELM sufficiently
after having fixed the /dev/null and invisible mailbox problems to say
whether this problem has gone away, but I suspect not. One problem does
remain, for sure: when replying to a message in PC-ELM, with include, an
arbitrary binary character gets (usually with bit 8 set) gets included at
the start of the included section. I have a feeling this code is doing
some absolute referencing during random disk access (you can tell I know
what I'm talking about here, can't you :-)) and that this may explain this
and the lost clusters (which all contained PC-ELM headers, followed by
whatever happenned to be on the disk at that point). As they say here in
England, I think the code needs going through with a Bren gun.
That said, PC-ELM *does* provide a front end for UUCP better suited to the
novice or casual user and, if it wasn't for the reply and lost cluster
problems, I would put it in front of the ten or so UUPC users I support.
One thing I definitely do not like, but the new users wouldn't notice,
is that the meaning of the X and Q commands are swapped, i.e., in PC-ELM,
Q leaves the mailbox unaltered and X saves changes and exits.
If there is enough interest in PC-ELM amongst the UUCP users and they
are having difficulty getting it and there are some C programmers out there
who fancy exercising their skills in making this into a rock-solid frontend
for UUPC, I am happy to send it to Drew or someone he cares to nominate,
so that it can be put up on sun.soe.clarkson.edu. No individual e-mail
requests, please; after all, I am in England! The ZIP is 116683 bytes.
Reading the notes at the start of the main source code file (TCMAIN.C),
it became clear that PC-ELM is *not* a port of the highly recommended (but
not yet made to compile by me!) unix program of the same name. It started
life as an extension of the mailer supplied with KA9Q, that most mysterious
and legendary of programs, which does everything except make tea, if its
proponents are to be believed! Primarily, it was intended for the Amateur
Packet Radio environment (NET/ROM, AX.25, and all that) but then included
SMTP and TCP/IP and thus started to stray into DOS/unix territory and get
used as a router, including doing routing between TCP/IP and Novell IPX
environments (ask me how if you are interested!). It had a simple mailer,
called BM (for Bdale's Mailer, after Bdale Garbee, who wrote it). This
then got taken over by a number of other radio types, mostly European,
it seems, including Trulli, Freiss, Siebeck and, finally, Kelvin Hill,
whose call sign is G1EMM, which explains those g1emm directories you see
on KA9Q ftp sites! At some point in its evolution, the idea of using a
user interface like the unix ELM was adopted.
The fact that it handles both UUCP mail (which I have now got working)
and SMTP mail (which I have not yet tried) in the one program and that
you can cross-reply between these is a plus. The lack of any kind of
mmdf channel handling or sendmail rule processing will, I think, make
its use in such a dual-universe environment only suitable for "end-user"
nodes ("leaf" in uucp parlance). It is clear that the people working on
PC-ELM have not looked at UUPC in a *long* time. The last revision date
on the V2.1 of PC-ELM is October 1990; if anyone knows of a later version,
do tell. Tantalisingly, one of the revision notes mentions the addition
of NNTP traffic handling - nothing mentioned in the docs and, not having
a newsfeed here and, consequently, not knowing anything about NNTP, I can't
tell by casting my ignorant eye over the code what support it provides.
I'll end by saying that the difference in programming quality between PC-ELM
and Drew's work with UUPC *really* shows! Now, if Drew could be persuaded
to take a look at PC-ELM .... The front end is OK, it's how it interfaces
to the back end (and the disk!) that is the problem. Someone who knows a
good bit about KA9Q is probably a must; do we have any KA9Q experts amongst
the UUCP worldwide fraternity?
Hope this provides a useful review of PC-ELM.

Subject: MAKE-O-MANIA
For those who like to roll their own, I just did a bit of experimenting
with various make programs. I built only the DOS version of UUPC. Of
course we know that old MS make that came with MSC 5 will not work with
the current nmake file, but the make that comes with MSC 6, 6.00A and
6.00AX will. The new nmk program also works very well by saying,
nmk /nologo /s /f nmake installR . Polymake, however, chokes
on much of nmake (Ask me if I really care!). FYI. --Bill

Well I currently have UUPC running over a Netware 3.11 network.
I only have one host so it makes things quite simple. In fact using it this
way for local mail uucico is not even needed. The mail command looks
after deliver and movemt of all mail.
I set up UUPC as if I had one machine with a number of users on it, as
per the docs. Then in my netware system login script I assigned
the uupcuserrc variable to be dependant on the %LOGIN_NAME of the
user. Something like:
SET uupcusrrc = "f:\lib\uupc\%LOGIN_NAME.rc"
Then it is a matter of creating a personal.rc file for each user who
is going to utilize mail.
After a bit of playing around it is all done.
Security is non existant as every user must have access to the ..\mail
directory they are required to write sent mail there. But as most my
users are well behaved, security is not really a problem.
There is no such thing as a UUPC module, that I know of, that can be run
on the Netware host. If you do wan't to run external mail delivery, ie
uucico, then you will have to envoke uucico from one of your hosts, any one.
But this can be done in the background under Windows in 386 eh mode.
As for delivery to multiple hosts, maybe if you map different users to

UUSTAT -P kendra (creates dummy job to make -s any work)
UUPOLL -i hhmm -s any
Where hhmm = n in hours and minutes. Once queue is empty, "-s any" will
not call any more.

Subject: Obtaining UUPC/Extended in the UK
Drew,
just for the record.... if anyone in the UK is having problems
obtaining new releases of UUPC/Extended (cos we don't have a real
Internet yet, but watch this space) we usually pull it down to
Demon within a few days and then upload it to Cix (The Compulink
Information eXchange). If any UK UUPCers would find it easier to
get the files from within the UK perhaps they could either use Cix
or suggest some suitable BBS over here that could hold the files.
Regards,
Mark.

The option is documented in the MAIL.PRN file.
Some modems, specifically the Hayes SmartModem series, will accept
commands at a certain port speed xxxx (say 2400 bps), and then if the
other modem it connects to is running a lower speed, issue a CONNECT
yyyy message at the original speed xxxx and *then* change its own port
speed to yyyy. Thus, to continue talking to the modem, the computer
must switch to speed yyyy as well.
Autobauding is simply the process of the modems finding each other's
speed. In some cases it also refers to the computer figuring out the
modem switched speed on it as well.
options=nofixedspeed
The default, options=nofixedspeed, tells the UUPC/extended to scan for a
number after the CONNECT and/or ANSWER strings defined in the *.MDM
file, and automatically switch the port speed to the that number if it
is found.
options=fixedspeed
options=fixedspeed, commonly used with Telebit Trailblzers, v.42bis
modems, and other data compressing modems, tells UUPC/extended to ignore
the connection speed and continue talking to the modem at the original
speed. This is possible (and desired) because these modems buffer
characters to compress them, and thus can talk to the computer faster
than it sends the data down the telephone line. (This is desired
because compress/decompression will result in more bits per second
exchanged with the computer than actually sent over the phone line.)
In summary, use nofixedspeed for most Hayes compatible modems, but
use fixedspeed for v.42bis, Telebits, or other data compressing modems.
Check your modem manual to determine whether it changes speed when it
connects.

Hi Drew,
I have rewritted the documentaion for my UNIX host setup I sent you
and the person in Finland.
You have not told me to not send updates to you...
(For some reason, the above sentence looks weird, ie: stupid!)
For security reasons, I am using the hostname of 'frogshid' instead
of my real host name I have at work. I work for the telephone
company and they would cut off my ..... if I gave any information a
hacker might use.
My PC is not called 'flybait', just made it up to be funny. Also, I
have been trying for about three months to get a mail feed here in
Indianapolis. I called in a favor to get a free mail account on the
local university and the temporary mail account expires May 1992. :-(
I'm still trying very hard to get a mail account and then I will
have a real UUCP node! I LOVE "Star Trek" and have a nodename I think
is not used by anybody and that is also why I have not told anybody what
it is.
thanks,
mike

1-8 & 20 cabled to the +---------------+

The Hayes modem is connected to port /dev/tty00 (the only port with
modem control on the workstation). This port is configured at 9600
baud and with RTS/CTS hardware flow control.
+-------------------+
| /etc/inittab file |
+-------------------+
t0:234:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t 30 tty00 9600H
This port (tty00) is using uugetty to allow the port to dial in or
dial out. The "-r" flag causes uugetty to wait to read a character
before it displays the login message. The "-t" flag specifies the
length of time in seconds (30 seconds for my host) uugetty will wait
before aborting if no response. The 9600H is a pointer to an entry
in the /etc/gettydefs file.

The "\" continuation character is NOT part of the lines above. They
are just three really long lines. It is shown this way to make it
"pretty" for this document. The first line starts with 9600H# and
ends with #2400H. The second line starts with 2400H# and ends with
#1200H. The third line starts with 1200H# and ends with #9600H.
The first part and last part of each line are labels. The line in
the /etc/inittab file says to read the line labeled 9600H in the
/etc/gettydefs file. If there is an error reading this line or the
remote host or the remote user sends a BREAK, the label at the end of
the 9600H line says to read the line labeled 2400H. These labels
provide a "goto" function.
To create the three lines for modem use, a line in the existing
/etc/gettydefs file labeled 9600 was copied to create three new lines
labeled 9600H, 2400H, and 1200H. CLOCAL was changed to HUPCL in two
places in each line so that when the connection stops (carrier detect
is lost), uugetty will die and drop the DTR lead. The baud Bxxx
settings in two places in each line also need to be changed.
Besides HUPCL, another important option is CS8. This sets the
character size to eight (needed for "g" UUCP protocol). The "man
pages" for gettydefs(4) and termio(7) describe in detail the other
options in the /etc/gettydefs file.

The "uucp" login is the administrative login id that "owns" all UUCP
files and directories. It is also used by cron to execute the UUCP
maintenance programs.
The "nuucp" login is the login id remote uucico programs will use to
log into the local host. For security reasons, this account on my
host is disabled. The "nuucp" account was copied to create a
separate login for each remote host that calls my host. For example,
the "uubugs" login id will be used by the PC host "flybait".

My host has a cron job execute the /usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.poll
shell script at eight minutes before every hour. This shell script
checks the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file to find remote hosts that are to
be polled. A work file named /usr/spool/uucp/flybait/C.flybaitn0000
is then created. Another cron job executes the
/usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.hour shell script (it runs uusched and uuxqt in
the background) at four minutes before every hour. As a result of
these two cron jobs, the remote host "flybait" will be called at
9:56am and 1:56pm.
The work file name (C.flybaitn0000 for example) is created by UUCP in
an unique way by adding "C." + first seven characters of remote host
name + an ASCII character representing the grade (priority) of the
work + a 4-digit job sequence number. The "C" stands for Command
file. Uucico processes the file priority ("n" in this case) in order
from A to Z and then a to z. The latest sequence number is stored in
the /usr/lib/uucp/SEQF file, but polling work files are always
sequence number 0000.

| Hayes Modem Setup String |
+--------------------------+
AT&FM0Q2&C2&D3S0=1&Y0&W0&W1
The modem is setup by executing the above command on a PC temporarily
connected to the Hayes modem. I have mixed luck trying to echo the
modem setup string to the modem port (echo "AT&F..." > /dev/tty00).
AT&F recall factory configuration
M0 turn speaker off
Q2 return result codes in originate mode, do not return result
codes in answer mode
&C2 Pin 8 - presume presence of carrier detect (CD) signal until
on-line, then monitor status of signal
&D3 Pin 20 - monitor DTR signal and when an on-to-off transition
of DTR signal occurs, hang up and perform a hard reset
S0=1 answer on 1 ring
&Y0 specify stored user profile 0 as power-up configuration
&W0 write storable parameters as profile 0
&W1 write storable parameters as profile 1
Option Q2 (it appears most people use Q1) is used because it allows
the modem result codes (OK, CONNECT, etc) to be seen on a manually
dialed connection and disables the modem result codes in answer mode.
If the modem echoes the result code (CONNECT for example) on an
incoming call, the local uugetty will see the capital letters in the
result code and think the remote host only understands uppercase. At
least three weeks of time was spent in tracking down this problem!
FROGSHID.INF Sunday, January 26, 1992 10:30 am Page 6
Option &C2 (it appears most people use &C1) is used because it allows
a manually dialed connection to the modem (Kermit for example) even
if carried detect is not present or enabled. Because the
/etc/gettydefs file has HUPCL, uugetty will NOT communicate with the
modem without seeing carrier detect if option &C1 is used.
Option &D3 (it appears most people use &D2) is used because this
causes the modem to do a HARD reset when the line disconnects and DTR
is dropped by uugetty. A Zillion dollar phone bill would be a BIG
shock!
The &Y0, &W0, and &W1 commands make sure when the modem resets, it
comes up in a known configuration. My modem had a weird setup stored
in profile 1 (from some other project) and &Y1 was set. Again, it
took a long time to figure out this problem.
By default, the Hayes modem has RTS/CTS local hardware flow control
(&K3) and V.42 error-control with V.42bis data compression (&Q5)
enabled.

+---------+
The hardest part about UUCP is the modem setup string, then the chat
script.
The first modem on my workstation was a NEC modem that has about
3,000,000 setup commands and the factory default configuration makes
absolutely no sense. At first, I thought my problems were with the
chat script until I discovered the NEC modem has a factory default
setting of NO flow control! About TWO months of time was spent
trying to get UUCP to work with the NEC modem!! After the NEC modem
was replaced with a Hayes modem, UUCP started working just great! :-)

Subject: Mail forwarding to PRN
Someone posted recently about wanting to be able to forward files to
a printer. He wanted to use uucp. I don't use uucp, but I am doing it
with mail. Here's how:
(1) Get yourself the DOS ports of some essential Unix tools for doing this
sort of messing around: cat, sed, grep and, while you are at it, mv.
Should be listed along with the Nutshell books as required UUPC items.
(2) set up a password file entry like:
prinput:*:::printer input:/usr/prinput
(3) in /usr/prinput, make a FORWARD file with:
| cat > prn
Mail to prinput goes straight to the printer. That's it.
OK, you are left with the headers, but I am sure a whizz with sed (i.e. not
me) can knock up a little script to chop the headers off (delete everything
from the Ctrl-As or the From up to the first blank line?), so that the
FORWARD becomes:
| sed -f chophead.sed > prn
or some such.
I am sure there are many other ways of cracking this nut, this is just
an example.

Aliases are only used by the user interface, which as you have
discovered, doesn't enter into the picture for remote mail.
Add the mailing list address to the PASSWD file, and put all the
addresses in a FORWARD file for the mailingf list address, and then then
mail to that addresses. Be forewarned that that mail will bounce to the
original person who sends the mail, since such a simple list doesn't
handle actually re-queueing the mail from the list.

Drew,
May I suggest that you include this file in the next
release of the UUPC11_D.ZIP file? It describes the US Domain.
Currently, people may register hosts in the US domain, (which
has its own name servers) for no charge.
(As you'll probably notice, I just registered my host,
dobbs.cambridge.ma.us. It was much easier that I expected. The
hardest part was convincing my mailserver that it was a good
idea, but now it works great!)
Just trying to be helpful,
Kent.
PS : UUnet now charges $50 for domain registration... you
may want to update uunetdom.inf.
The US Domain
=============
Introduction:
The US domain is an official top-level domain in the Domain Name
System (DNS) of the Internet community. It is registered with the
Network Information Center (DDN-NIC). The domain administrators are
Jon Postel and Ann Westine Cooper at the Information Sciences
Institute of the University of Southern California (USC-ISI).
The US domain hierarchy is based on political geography, that is, the US
domain is subdivided into states, then cities, and so on. Any computer
in the United States may be registered in the US domain.
Typical host names in the US domain are:
VIXIE.SF.CA.US
DOGWOOD.ATL.GA.US
KILLER.DALLAS.TX.US
HOLODEK.SANTA-CRUZ.CA.US
GRIAN.CPS.ALTADENA.CA.US
Membership:
Because many computers in the United States are already registered in
the COM, EDU, and other top level domains, relatively few computers are
currently registered in the US domain. However the US Domain is
beginning to grow.
In the past the computers registered the US Domain were primarily
owned by small companies or individuals (and often located in homes).
It is expected than many more computers of all types and belonging to
all sizes of organizations will be registered in the US Domain.
Large organizations or companies are also encouraged to register in
the US Domain. Typically these have many hosts and will operate their
own DNS name servers. The US Domain will delegate an appropriate part
of the name space to such large organizations on the same terms as the
NIC requires for delegations of portions of the COM or EDU domains.
Administration:
Currently, the US Domain and all of its subdivisions (i.e., states,
cities etc.) are managed by the US Domain Registrar. The US Domain is
just beginning to grow and we want to be careful about what names get
used and how control is allocated until some usage patterns are
established. We will run the servers for all the states in the US
domain.
Registration of a host in the US domain does not grant permission to use
the Internet or its component networks. Any restrictions on sending
mail through (or other use of) the Internet is independent of host
registration in the US domain. Registration in the US domain does not
allocate any IP address, or cause registration in HOSTS.TXT.
There is no change in the procedures for registration in, or operation
of, other top-level domains such as COM, EDU, GOV, MIL, NET, or ORG.
These domains are not being moved under the US domain.
Delegation:
At some future point we will hand off the administration of individual
states to appropriate responsible people, probably in the state they
administer. Early experience shows that delegation of cities and of
companies within cities is most practical. The delegated part of the
name space will most likely be in the form of
<org-name>.<city>.<state>.US.
For example: IBM.ARMONK.NY.US.
Generally, organizations requesting delegations must provide at least
two independent DNS name servers in physically separate locations on
the Internet that provide the the domain service for translating names
to addresses in this domain.
The state codes are those assigned by the US Postal Service. Cities
may be named (designated) by their full name (spelled out with hyphens
replacing spaces (e.g., Los-Angeles or New-York)), or by a city code.
The first choice is the full city name, the second choice is the city
codes from Western Union's "City Mnemonics" list, and a third choice
is a code for your city that you choose. However, it is very
desirable that all users in the same city use the same designator for
the city.
For example: Joes-Bar.Santa-Monica.CA.US
Groups:
The administrator of a company or the organizer of a group (or "domain
park") of users with individual hosts may coordinate the registration of
the group by forwarding all the information for the group to the US
Domain Administrator.
In this case, the explicit specific information for each host must be
provided. All fully qualified names must be unique. If a host is not
directly on the Internet an MX record is required pointing to an
Internet host for forwarding. The forwarding host must be directly on
the Internet (that is, have an IP address), no "double MX-ing" is
allowed.
A group coordinator of, for example, the Computer Club in Chicago (CLUB),
could arrange to coordinate the registration of all the computers used
by members of the club. The registered names might have the form:
ALPHA.CLUB.CHI.IL.US MX 10 CS.CHICAGO-U.EDU
Only hosts on the Internet can act as forwarding hosts. Hosts on
networks such as CSNET, UUCP, BITNET, must be registered with an
Internet forwarding host. When registering a destination host in the US
domain with an MX record, the requester is responsible for also
registering the destination host with the administrator of the
forwarding host.
For example, when a message is sent to "Susan@ALPHA.CLUB.CHI.IL.US"
it will be routed to the Internet host "CS.CHICAGO-U.EDU" as directed
by the MX record. The host "CS.CHICAGO-U.EDU" must know some way of
delivering the message to the host "ALPHA.CLUB.CHI.IL.US" (uucp, slip,
whatever). So the destination host (ALPHA.CLUB.CHI.IL.US) must be
known to (registered with) the forwarding host (CS.CHICAGO-U.EDU), as
well as being registered in the US domain DNS database.
The administrator of the destination host must make an agreement with
the administrator of the forwarding host for the forwarding service.
This agreement must be in place before the request for registration is
sent to the US Domain Administrator.
Other Networks:
A section of the DNS database is called a "zone". With careful
coordination, a domain (like EDU) can be divided into several zones.
This has been done for the EDU and COM domains to aid in the
registration of hosts from the UUCP, CSNET and BITNET communities. If
a host is registered in UUCP, BITNET, or CSNET portion of a domain (as
something.EDU or something.COM), it need not be registered in the US
domain, unless a geographical name (something.city.state.US) is
desired.
If a host is in a UUCP, BITNET, or CSNET network, it doesn't need to
register in the US domain, unless it wants to be registered with a
geographical DNS domain name.
Only hosts on the Internet can act as forwarding hosts. Hosts on
networks such as CSNET, UUCP, BITNET, etc., must affiliate their hosts
with an Internet host. This is necessary because when messages for
your host arrive at the Internet host it will need to know where to
forward them. MX records are necessary.
Unique Name:
It is the policy that a computer must have a single primary name, so it
should not be registered in both US and COM (or both US and EDU). It is
possible to have "nicknames" for a brief period while a host name change
is in progress.
Wild Cards:
While we strongly believe that it is in everyone's interest and good
for the Internet to have each host explicitly registered (that is, we
believe that wild cards should not be used), we also realize that not
everyone agrees with this belief. Thus, we will allow wild card
records in the US domain under groups or organizations. For example,
"*.BIRDSONG.SUVL.CA.US".
Servers:
The US domain is currently supported by four name servers:
VENERA.ISI.EDU, VAXA.ISI.EDU, HERCULES.CSL.SRI.COM, and NNSC.NSF.NET.
Cost:
Currently, there is no cost for registering a host in the US domain.

RFC-1034, Mockapetris, P., "Domain Names - Concepts and Facilities".
RFC-1035, Mockapetris, P., "Domain Names - Implementation and Specification".
Registration:
To register in the US Domain send a message to the US Domain Registrar
(Cooper@ISI.EDU). The response will be a US Domain Questionnaire for
you to fill out.
In several cities a "coordinator" has volunteered to process requests
locally and communicate with the US Domain Registrar on behalf of all
interested users in that city, or organization within that city. If
in your request we see that you are in a city or organization with a
coordinator we will refer you to that coordinator.

Alan,
You can publish any of the following as you chose. Lucky for us, you
won't have room for it all.
When are you going to do this review? We are constantly putting out new
releases, and we're late enough in the cycle that I can get you the next
release (1.11s or 1.11t) the day after it is released. The soonest we
could get out a release is in about two weeks (3/8/92).
The current official release is 1.11q. If you should have happen to
find 1.11r (a beta release), don't test it, go back to 1.11q.

We *strongly* prefer to receive e-mail over both snail mail and phone
calls.
Distribution:
UUPC/extended is distributed electronically; the primary method is
anonyous FTP over the Internet. It can also be retrieved from at least
two BBS systems without charge (except for long distance charges), or
ordered on diskette from a company in Potsdam, NY. The full
HOWTOGET.TXT file which included with each release follows; you can
extract what you wish from it, and include a note to send e-mail to
help@kew.com for the full retrieval instructions.
The source is included with the program.
Basic softcopy documentation is included with UUPC/extended. No
hardcopy documenation is included, although this can be requested when
registering.
Pricing:
UUPC/extended is, at its most basic level, free.
Most new users of UUCP oriented mail systems should buy the Nutshell
Handbooks "Using UUCP and USENET" and "Managing UUCP and USENET" from
O'Reilly & Associates. People should consider the costs of these books
when totalling the cost of setting up a UUPC/extended system. (The
Wonderworks is not associated with O'Reilly & Associates; we just read
their stuff.)
Beginning the fall of 1991, people can register UUPC/extended to support
the expenses of producing it, including our hardware and
telecommunications costs. They can also optionally support the staff's
love of Chocolate Ice Cream. The information to register is included in
the documentation archive as well.
Registering is not required to use the programs; we would rather see
people using an unregistered copies than paying money for a worse
program. (In other words, Snuffles would rather be famous than rich.)
Support:
Support is normally done via e-mail to help@kew.com or the Internet
mailing list for UUPC/extended. Registered users can also get phone
support. Bug fixes are shipped as a part of new releases; we never
slip-stream fixes or apply changes to back-level code.
As previously noted, source is always available. The program requires
MicroSoft C 6.0 or Borland C++ 2.0 to compile, plus a Macro Assembler
(MASM or TASM).
---> Part II
Now comes the funny parts; hence the switch from editorial we to first
personal singular. Save this, it's your press kit.
UUPC/extended is a very real program, make no mistake; the source code
requires 1.6 Megabytes, over half of which was written by me personally.
I am told by others it is among the best of the UUCP programs for DOS
available, including comments from various people that UUNET recommends
it for people hooking up DOS machines to UUNET. (I'd confirm this
latter fact before publishing it.)
But, as for the Wonderworks itself, it's a little more complicated than
that. For starters, my chief assistant's full name is Snuffles Polar
Bear; she's a 12 inch tall plush Gund who lives on kendra's monitor.
(Ooops. Make that 12 inch tall _cute_ plush Gund; Recycled Paper
Products even has a card with her picture on it.) She sends e-mail (her
address is snuffles@kew.com), write documentation, and sometimes even
does bug fixes.
In other words, we're all a little weird over here in Arlington.
A little history ... enter ramble mode.
UUPC was originally written for a number of platforms in the mid-1980's
by a crew up in Vancouver, B.C., and posted to the Net with a GNU-ish
Copyleft in the source files. While still at Clarkson University in
1986, I encountered an early version but was unable to get it to work
because of incompatible hardware.
In 1989, I tried the second widely distributed of version of UUPC,
(commonly known as UUPC 1.05 or just the interim release). It worked,
but had problems. In getting it to behave for my use on a system I
registered as kendra, I created UUPC/extended 1.06a. I made additional
changes until I worked up my way up to 1.07c by the end of that year.
In 1989, I also met an MIT co-ed, Katherine E. Williams, over the net; I
then moved to Boston for unrelated professional reasons. When I chose
to seek an internet domain for my system in early 1990, Katherine let me
back into her initials as a joke, and thus was created Kendra Electronic
Wonderworks (kew.com). (Another choice was Kickbacks, Wirefraud, and
Extortion, which doesn't look good in a family magazine like UNIX World.
I try to plan ahead.)
About the time I registered kew.com with the Internet NIC, I also
started giving away UUPC/extended to the unsuspecting. My original
policy was staying not-for-profit by neither accepting money nor
spending money on UUPC; the former worked, the latter didn't. Thus,
I have given up on the latter but still distribute the source and
accept pleas from help from the unregistered.
I am the primary author, but not the sole author. As a partial list:
The UUCP command was written in England, a prototype of the OS/2 support
was done in Germany, news and RN support (which is still in testing) was
written in Los Angles and updated in San Francisco, UUX/UUXQT
enhancements were written in Texas, and improved serial port support was
written here in the Bay State. Also, bug fixes come from everywhere.
As for Snuffles the Plush Programming Polar Bear, Katherine gave
Snuffles to me for Christmas 1990 to replace two other creatures she
left in my care the previous summer. Those creatures currently live on
the monitor of Katherine's system, athena.kew.com, in Santa Barbara.
Creatures, computer, and fiance are moving back here next month.
Snuffles used to ask for Chocolate in all her e-mail, then someone sent
her 144 (18 pounds!) of Snickers Bars. Now, she's only allowed to ask
for donations to the Chocolate Ice Cream fund. (There's this ice cream
place in the MIT student union ...)
End of history ... exit ramble mode.
For additional UUPC/extended background and credits, be sure to read the
README.PRN file included with the documentation archive.

You can't receive files into the anonymous directory. That's a feature.
This prevents anonymous system from queuing a request such as a UUCP
back to it and having a second anonymous system pick up the first
system's request by mistake.
It also prevents an anonymous system from sending mail to you, which is
also by design. This prevents a horde of security and response
problems.
Anonymous systems can write the public directory if you choose to let
them.

Drew,
Just got the new UUPC/extended. Followed all the installation
instructions. Haven't yet set up a mail server, but thought I'd
test it locally. Everything I tried gave me something like:
c:\util\comm\uucp } mail -s "Clang Honk Tweet" postmaster
MAIL: UUPC/extended 1.11v (02Sep92 23:02)
Changes Copyright (c) 1989 by Andrew H. Derbyshire. Changes and
Compilation Copyright (c) 1990-1992 by Kendra Electronic Wonderworks. May
be freely distributed if original documentation and source is included.
Enter message. Enter ~? for help. End input with a period (.)
? This be a test.
? .
Abort, Continue, Edit, List, or Send? Send
rmail: No such file or directory
Extended DOS Error Information: Number = 3, Class = 8, Action = 3, Locus = 4
Unable to execute rmail; mail not delivered.
c:\util\comm\uucp }
Everything, that is, until I tried ditching 4DOS and running mail
under COMMAND.COM. Then all went smoothly. The workaround is easy:
a batch file that sets up the path and environment variables and
invokes COMMAND /c mail %&. That last is 4DOS's way of including
the rest of the command line.
Works like a champ, so far, but I thought you'd like to know about
this incompatibilty. Anyone who uses COMMAND when 4DOS is available
(or CMD rather than 4OS2), really is missing a lot. Thanks for a
cool tool, and you'll probably hear more from me soon.

Subject: FTP for Internet sites with E-Mail only.
One of the features of the Internet is the ability to connect to
another location and obtain files stored at that location. This
capability is called "FTP" (for "File Transfer Protocol".) This
means that an installation can place important sources or binaries on
a particular machine and then "advertise" the place where the
material is stored. Then, anyone who wants or needs this material
can use FTP to request it. There are two types of FTP, one where you
have advance permission and have a specific account and password on
that system, and one where the system allows anyone to request files
from it. The latter is done by using the "standard" account name of
"anonymous" with your internet address as your password, and is known
as "anonymous FTP".
Note: If you are using a system on BITNET, you have special
capabilities through a different method. See the bottom of this memo
for additional details.
FTP can be for small to enormous file areas. Columbia University
provides an anonymous FTP site to allow people to obtain the sources
to the Kermit file transfer protocol. In some cases, such as the
massive SIMTEL20 archive operated by the White Sands Missle Range,
this includes thousands of files which can be used by the IBM-PC,
Macintosh, Amiga and other systems.
While some people who either have university or commercial service
accounts have the ability to do FTP directly to their local machine,
then download the files from their local machine, a lot more people
have E-Mail only access to Internet, and thus have no means available
to do FTP and acquire these files.
However, there is a way to obtain files from FTP sites and retrieve
files by E-Mail. This service is available by sending E-Mail
messages to the FTPMAIL service provided by Digital Equipment
Corporation to anyone with an Internet E-Mail address. In fact, DEC
operates an anonymous FTP site called "gatekeeper" that if you don't
ask for a specific other site, it will make requests from gatekeeper.
To be able to do E-Mail based FTP, you need to know the name of the
site, then you simply tell FTPMAIL and ask it to obtain the files for
you if that site permits "anonymous" FTP, i.e. where anyone can
obtain any file from the system. You send the message, and FTPMAIL
eventually will either (1) send you back confirmation or (2) send you
back a note saying you made a mistake. If you got (1), it will then
send you the requested files, in chunks of 64K or less. If the file
is smaller than 64K, you get it in one message. If the file is
larger than 64K, you get it in multiple messages. (If you are on
Compuserve, you need to set this limit to 49K; send a HELP message to
find out about the CHUNKSIZE command.)
I personally have used this method to send over 10 megabytes of files
to me at my account on MCI Mail. Note that you must know the system
you want to retrieve and the exact file names. In almost all
instances, the particular case, UPPER OR lower, is critical and must
be done exactly as indicated based on a listing from a DIR request.
The way to make E-Mail FTP requests is to send a message to:
FTPMAIL@DECWRL.DEC.COM
where a set of commands are sent as the text of the message. (The
title of the message is not used except to identify file(s) returned
to you.)
The full instructions can be obtained by sending a message with: HELP
as a line in the text of the message. The complete FTPMAIL
capability includes other features including non-anonymous FTP,
ability to retrieve a file in different sized pieces, and special
password capability.
The general method of sending a request is as follows (lines
beginning with ; are comments; these comments are not included on
FTPMAIL requests):
TO: FTPMAIL@DECWRL.DEC.COM
; FTPMAIL's address
CONNECT WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL
; This is the name of the system I want to request from
REPLY TDARCOS@MCIMAIL.COM
; Here is where I want files I receive sent to
BINARY
UUENCODE
; These two lines indicate I will be receiving 8-bit character
; files and they should be sent to me as uuencoded binary so
; that they can be sent as E-Mail. If you are only doing DIR
; requests, you can skip both of these
GET PD1:<MSDOS.DBASE>WAMPUM42.ZIP
; Here I am requesting the system send me a particular file
; I am interested in. Note that you can only request 10 files
; at a time, more than that and your request is rejected
DIR PD1:<MSDOS>
; Here I want a directory listing. This will come back as a
; separate message
QUIT
; This is an optional command indicating that there are no more
; FTPMAIL commands. If your system appends tag lines or disclaimers,
; to your messages, you should put this in so FTPMAIL will ignore
; them.
NOTE: If your local system is a BITNET system, however, you can use
the BITFTP server from Princeton, whose syntax is slightly different,
and allows special features including direct binary transfers as
opposed to DEC's FTPMAIL which, since it is running on the Internet
as opposed to internal BITNET transfers, cannot provide this
capability. To use the BITNET server, you should send a message with
HELP as the text to "BITFTP@PUCC.BITNET". BITFTP will not send files
to non-BITNET sites.
