With all of the talk about UUCP for MSDOS systems going around, I just
want to clear something up.  Many people, including myself, would like
a much simpler implementation than the one currently for 256k MSDos
systems.  We just want to be able to use our CP/M computers to call our
nearest mainframe, identify ourselves as a "site" and get our mail or
send a batch of mail to that site to be put on the net.  Any way to do
this?  Most of us don't have the disk space for netnews anyway.

Is there any place, apart from the source code, that you can get a description
of the UUCP handshaking, transfer, and error checking protocols? I'd like to
be able to just use uucico for local file transfers so I could use the PC here
for personal archiving... 8" floppies are a pretty unreliable way to store
important data, since the next system is very unlikely to be able to use them.
