I do have a few questions. We are using a Masscomp 5600 that supports UCB 4.2. I am interested in using it to support logins from Macs, Ataris and Amigas. I understand servers are available for these machines. Is there a generic text-based server? Ala overlapping text windows. I would need that for PCs or other systems. Is there a newer version of the software than 3.4? In particular, is there a version that doesn't have Sun dependent code? I can't get the code to compile on the Masscomp as distributed. I don't have afile (?). Is there an archive of UW stuff? The version that I have came from a government BBS at Ames and it was pretty old. I don't have FTP access so I would need UUCP info or guest login. I think that the system is an interesting way to get more done using the growing number of Macs, Ataris and Amigas out here. If I could get it running on the PC I sure would be a hero arround here!
