It's not public domain in the strictest sense of the word, but since
it is to be part of the GNU Project, it is free.  For nice displays,
it talks to SunView and X, though it doesn't have fancy curses()
hooks yet.  It is quite nice and undergoing active development.

It runs on all the 4.2 machines around here that I've tried it on so
far (VAX and Sun), but you may have problems on a non-UN*X box.  I
don't know about that at all.

I don't know if anyone is distributing it via UUCP yet.--
