Jonathan: I believe that there are docs with the UUCP package, as well as a slow setup description file (to fully install the UUCP Package), as well as a fast setup text file showing how to set it up between 2 small machines basically as a test. I've been running UUCP here on my Amiga for a long time (don't remember exactly how long it's been), and while it's certainly not the easiest program (or really set of programs) to get up and running, once done it gives your machine a method of communications that ranks with the 'big boys' (Unix, VMS, etc) rather than the BBSes popular with PC's, and other personal computers. (the 'little boys'?) I'll try and explain how to set it up as much as I can (this is all from memory). First make a directory on your HD called UUCP. unarchive the UUCP archive into this directory making sure to use the proper options to create directories under the current one. This will makeup all the proper directories you need to run UUCP. You then need to assign UUCP: to that directory. In the uucp:lib directory is a file named Config that needs to be edited to change the settings to match your system. Some of the settings are best answered by system administrator of the machine you're going to be getting a feed from. I don't recall if there is any other things needed in particular, but if you have any specific questions about setting up UUCP on your system, please feel free to ask questions here. // -Mike Schiller \X/ AMIGA!
