#### BINHEX fern-mail-122.hqx ****
Subject: Fernmail1.2.2
From: dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us (Dave Platt)
This archive contains version 1.2.2 of Fernmail, a shareware mail
program designed for use with uupc and Mac/gnuucp. The application,
documentation, and sample configuration files are included.
Fernmail 1.2.2 is a minor upgrade to version 1.2.1; it fixes a few
minor bugs, and has an improved memory and string allocator to reduce
memory usage when opening large mailboxes. It also has the author's new
address.

From: jim@fpr.com (James E. O'Dell)
Subject: Mac/gnuucp version 6.09
Organization: Fort Pond Research
I am submitting Mac/gnuucp verison 6.09 for inclusion in the network
archives and for posting to comp.binaries.mac.
Mac/gnuucp 6.09 is the latest version of my port of the GNUUCP code to
the Macintosh. This version includes many bug fixes, a sliding window
implementation of the UUCP protocol for much improved throughput and
a completely redesigned mail reader hypercard stack. I am told it works
with toadnews, the shareware newsreading software, but I have not
personally verified this.
As with all GNUUCP programs, Mac/gnuucp adheres to the GNU copyleft.
This means that complete source code is available. It will be distributed
in a followup posting as soon as the binaries have been dsitributed.
If you need access to them before please send mail direclty to me.
For further information see the GNU license in the distribution.

#### BINHEX mac-ucp-11-fat.hqx ****
From: chrisp@sax.sax.de
Subject: macucp-11-fat.hqx - UUCP package for the Mac
MacUCP is a UUCP package for the Macintosh. It allows your Mac to
efficiently exchange files, e-mail and news with other computers, usually
UNIX servers connected to the Internet.
MacUCP is still no fully functional UUCP package. But the functionality
required for leaf sites is there, so it will be useful to most of you out
there.

From: paulb@best.com (Paul Bricmont)
Subject: Mail Call 1.1
Mail Call is a mail notification program for use with UUPC 3.1. It is a
HyperCard stack that looks inside your incoming mail files to see which of
them contains mail and which don't. This stack is useful for people with
several mail files.
Mail Call requires a fully functional version of HyperCard 1.2.5 or later.
Mail Call is PostcardWare. If you like it and find it useful send me a
postcard and/or e-mail.

mail file field from working correctly.
#### BINHEX roberts-file-transfer-110.hqx ****
Date: Mon, 27 Feb 1995 19:56:37 -0500
From: robert@rp.cam.org (Robert Pellerin)
Subject: Robert's File Transfer 1.10
This utility will spool the necessary files to the SPOOLDIR in order to
have a simple uucp file transfer to succeed.
version 1.10:
=============
Better compatibility with UUPC 3,1, solution of some bugs,
addition of a command allowing to see the settings. This
version does not presuppose the presence of the 'STR '
USERNAME neither SEQUENCEFILE. In the case where they would
not be presented the program uses "uucp" and "SEQF". The bug
that did not allow RFT to read the SEQUENCEFILE, seems to
have been addressed by the same occasion. Some
modifications would give a best stability in the
manipulation of character chains. Typing a "C" to the main
menu, make possible to see the value of the main variable
of the program.
version 1.00:
=============
First public release. Have been tested with a Mac IIvx, and a Mac +
using system 7.1, file transfer were acomplished against a Taylor's
uucp system. Many thanks to Mason Bliss for reviewing the docs.
The next version will fix the english language mistakes. :-)

#### BINHEX thread-sorter-10b3.hqx ****
Subject: thread-sorter-10b3
From: Marc Liyanage <liyanage@access.ch>
Note: The only thing that has changed in this version is my email address.
Threadsorter is a utility for sorting articles in UUCP/Connect news-
groupfiles by thread.
This release contains a small fix. The bug basically stopped the program
from accepting it's own files after the first conversion.
Enjoy

What's New In This Version 1.1?
-------------------------------
- Better SOUP packet support
- Faster performance (especially when expiring)
- Article "junk"-ing now supported
- AppleScript support
- Scheduling of unbatching and expiring of news, as well as the option to quit
afterwards
- Running of specified tasks at application start-up
- Support for external decompressors and threaders (default "uncompress"
external decompressor is also included in the package)
- Interface changes
- Improved error recovery
- Updated online documentation
What Is ToadNews?
-----------------
ToadNews provides Macintosh users with the ability to be leaf-node
Usenet sites. A Usenet leaf-node usually does not relay news other
nodes, with the exception of the node that feeds it news.
ToadNews itself takes newsbatches sent from the newsfeed and then
unbatches and puts the news into the appropriate directory for perusal
by your favourite newsreader or text-editor.
Some other features of ToadNews include:
(excerpts from the "ToadNews ReadMe First" file)
- An unbatcher that can manually unbatch newsbatches (via the File menu
or by drag & dropping newsbatches onto the ToadNews program icon). The
unbatcher can also be configured to look in a user-configurable folder
for new newsbatches and automatically unbatch news.
- Can handle both compressed & uncompressed newsbatches from newsfeeds
running both B-News and C-News software. ToadNews will automatically
determine which type of newsbatch it is dealing with and perform the
necessary operations to extract the Usenet news. ToadNews currently
supports these newsbatch formats: "#! rnews", "#! cunbatch", SOUP and
raw compressed.
- Integrates well with variety of Macintosh-based news transports
(including UUPC and MacSlurp) and newsreaders (ie: rnMac and TheNews).
In addition, users without UUCP or MacTCP connections can use uqwk on
their Unix accounts to create SOUP batches and download them to their
Mac, and then process them withToadNews afterwards.
- Decompression of newsbatches compressed with "compress" is supported
provided that ToadNews can allocate enough memory to perform the
decompression. Users can choose to use an external decompressor to
uncompress newsbatches compressed using compression formats other than
compress.
- A newsgroup expirer which removes old Usenet news from your hard
drive. The expirer can be configured to run automatically at
scheduled times, and/or after the free space on your hard
drive falls below a certain percentage of its total disk space.
- Flexible expiry support. Each newsgroup can be configured to have a
different expire period (in days), independent of other newsgroups.
- An newsgroup list editor, which allows the user to control the
inflow and expiration of news. In addition, this window also presents
important information regarding newsgroups.
- Support for scheduling the unbatching and expiring of news. The user
can also specify when to quit ToadNews when all processing has
finished.
- Can run smoothly in the background under System 7. ToadNews will run
in the background and quietly unbatch & expire news in the
background.
- Cheap software. At the Shareware cost of $25, you get a useable,
useful piece of UNIX/Macintosh interconnectivity. It's even cheaper
than $25 if you choose to exercise the other purchasing options
available.
ToadNews Requirements
---------------------
- Macintosh Plus or newer running System 7, with hard drive.
- A news transport (like UUPC 3.0 OR MacSlurp).
- Or, a Unix shell account, and "UQWK", a Unix-based SOUP packet
generator that collects news online and packages it up for
downloading.
- A Usenet newsreader (or very flexible text-editor), such as Roy
Wood's "rnMac", and Bill Cramer's "TheNews".

#### BINHEX uu-copy-beta.hqx ****
From: larryp%covid@bts.com (Larry Pearlstein)
Subject: UUCOPY beta
Date: Thu, 16 Jun 94 12:19 EDT
--========================_14101260==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Attached is a beta (alpha really) version of my program UUCOPY. It is
hopefully a fat binary - that is - it should run natively on both Power
Macs and classical Macs. I HAVE ONLY TESTED THIS SOFTWARE ON A POWER MAC!
Yes, I recognize that this program will rarely benefit by the Power Mac's
muscle, but I feel like it's a good thing to get into the habit of
producing PM native code.
UUCOPY is intended to allow the user to select files for transfer via the
Mac version of UUPC.
The first time UUCOPY is run the user is prompted to locate the UUPC
settings file. This file path is stored in a Preferences file in the
System folder.
The user can choose any or all of the systems defined in the UUPC ROUTEVIA
field as destinations through a dialog box. The selected destinations are
saved in the Preferences file on exit for convenience.
NOTE WELL that UUCOPY only copies data forks -- it is currently your
responsibility to make sure that the information that you want to transfer
is all in the data fork. For normal Mac files you may want to use BinHex
or MacBinary formats.
If there is sufficient interest, I'll integrate MacBinary conversion into
UUCOPY.
UUCOPY requires System 7.
Please send bug reports and comments to:

Best wishes,
Larry

From: jeffwest@scruznet.com (Jeffrey West)
Subject: TextArea Plus b22
This version of TAP, 1.0b22, fixes several bugs and has a new command and
updates to the documentation. See the version history for detailed info.
This version does not include the demo database. The database from b19 can
be used with this version.
Please keep sending in those bug reports and feature requests. We've
already implemented several of our beta tester's feature requests and will
implement as many of them as we can between now and our expected shipping
date in mid July (maybe sooner).
We will begin taking orders in about a week. Order forms will be e-mailed
to you. (If you're interested ;-)
Thanks to all of our beta testers for their feedback and patience.
TextArea Plus 1.0b22 will be available for download at ftp.netf.org,
Compuserve and info-mac archives.

This archive contains some software and documentation which may enable
uupc 3.1 to be integrated with a Macintosh-based bulletin board software
package such as Hermes or Tabby. I haven't tested this software, as I
don't run a BBS; it was contributed by uupc users.

Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII
I have been given the proud task of releasing Mark Assad's UUSP (
Unix-toUnix Set-up Program) for the Mac to the info-mac archive.
This Program has eventuated from a dream I had one day to reality,
thru Mark's Programming skills.
It Sets-up:
UUPC 3.0
ToadNews
and
rnMac
Thus creating a totally operational UUCP system for those with dialup
UUCP access.We have tried to make this version as bug proff as we can but as
with many early versions of software there may be problems if so you may
send any of your bugs to eitherof the below addresses.
massad@alsvid.une.edu.au
nwillis@alsvid.une.edu.au
This program allows the set-up of the above programs with a simple click
and point approch VERY easy compared to the hours which would have been
laboured previously.
Please do not hesitate to contact either Mark or Myself for assistance.
Regards,
