#UUSCR Executable Dir?
5 messages in this thread
Hi,
I downloaded uusrc.lzh (the uucp program sources) today, but I'm having a
bit of a problem with the archive.
I THINK I got it downloaded and lharc'd OK, but the README file refers to a
directory containing executables and I can't find that directory in either
the unarchived files or in an 'lharc -x l uusrc.lzh'. The thing that
really concerns me is that the README says that no source for the 'TAR'
executable is available and that I should be sure not to delete that
executable; which is NO PROBLEM because I don't have it to begin with!
Can anyone who's gotten this download to work shed some light?

Norvel,
There were a total of 3 archives that were part of that UUCP
distribution – the sources (which you downloaded), and two archives of
executables and documentation. I believe the executable files ended up in
Library 5 of AmigaUser – look for the files "UUCP1.LZH" and "UUCP2.LZH".
Hope this helps….

Bob,
Thanks, very much for such a prompt and helpful reply. I'll try to get the
rest.
Norvel,
I have not looked for that file, but since the name is UUSRC, I would guess
that the source and the executables were placed in two different archives.
That is done here often. Lots of people want only the executables, and
save money by not having to download the source – or vice versa. Look in
the library and I suspect you will find the executables in another file.

Betty,
Thanks for your reply. Bob Rakosky pointed me to DL 5 in AMIGAUSER, where
I found the executable form of UUCP. One of the files mentioned in the
UUSRC README is in this Archive, but one 'DCC' isn't. However, I got 'DCC'
by downloading DICE, Matt Dillon's C compiler package, so I should be all
set. Unfortunately, the version in AMIGAUSER also has the source, so I
ended up downloading that source twice. 🙁
Thanks, again, for your help.
