This is the READ ME file for UUPC/extended 1.13k by Kendra Electronic Wonderworks, and was last edited (only on GitHub) on 24 June 2018 for the release made on January 7, 2002. This same file is included in all the UUPC/extended archives.

Our web site for binary downloads of the current relase can be found at http://www.kew.com/pub/uupc/1.13k/

UUPC/extended is a UUCP clone for DOS, OS/2, and Windows 95/NT/2000/ XP. The package includes MAIL and UUCP interfaces, a news backend (delivery program) and associated utilities. UUPC/extended does not currently include a news reader.

The software and associated documentation are copyrighted; individuals or corporations may use UUPC/extended on as many systems as they desire for as long as they want without paying a fee, but it is not public domain software. Restrictions exist on how UUPC/extended may be copied or modified, primarily to insure the source remains available and that others are not charged for the software except for reasonable copying costs. See LICENSE.TXT in this archive for the details.

There was no release 1.13i.

UUPC/extended 1.13k is the latest major release for SMTP/POP3 support for the 32 bit environments Windows NT and OS/2. This support allows full access for POP/SMTP clients such as Netscape Communicator and Microsoft Outlook Express not directly connected to the Internet.

UUPC/extended 1.13k corrects a defect long lines crashed RMAIL when acting as an SMTP client.

The ASCII documents are in the file UPC???AD.ZIP file, assuming the current release is 1.???. That is, the second three characters of the archive name are the last three digits of the release number.

(The documents may be older than the release. For example. the documentation archive UPC12BAD.ZIP shared space with releases as late as 1.12n). The Word for Windows archive (UPC???AP.ZIP) may be newer than the base documentation archive, in which case it may have information on newer features. If you do not have Word for Windows but do have Windows, you can download a free viewer from www.microsoft.com or via our listserv.

The ASCII documents include overstrikes for printing on a printer. To read the document on-line, extract the program NOVRSTRK from the UUPC/extended optional programs archive and issue the following command:

    NOVRSTRK filename.PRN filename.TXT

Where filename is the name of the document you want to read. You can then browse the terminal ready version of the document, UUPCDOCS.TXT. However, given that these documents are over 200 pages long, you'll want to either print it or have a good search function handy.

READ THE DOCUMENTATION, including our copyright and license agreement, and the installation section on "Who should use UUPC/extended". The same license is included in all archives, just like this document.

We have dropped support for Windows 3.1. Please fall back to DOS if you are unable to move up to Windows 95 or above.

Use the Windows NT archives under Windows 95/98. We actually tested this, honest.

One known bug under Windows 95 is that the 'abort, send?' prompt in mail gets the response character listed as the first character on the following input line as well. We're looking into it.

The OS/2 32-bit executables are now stable, having been built with the IBM C++ compiler rather than Borland C++ for OS/2. We no longer ship the 16 bit OS/2 archives.

We now include a DLL for the OS/2 version, this must be placed in a directory in your LIBPATH. The easiest thing may be to simply add the OS/2 UUPC/extended binaries directory to your LIBPATH.

NOTE: We have dropped the UUCICON.EXE/RMAILN.EXE modules which did not require TCP/IP. You must install OS/2 dial up or LAN TCP/IP support.

If you don't have a copy of HOWTOGET.TXT, either on its own or as a part of the main reference guide in the UPC???AD.ZIP, get a copy of it to determine what files you need for your environment, then read the documentation to learn how to install UUPC/extended.

Once you are up and running, the documentation also includes instructions on how to stay current via the UUPC-Announce, UUPC-Info and the new UUPC-Info-digest mailing lists, and interesting stuff. Enjoy.
