INTRODUCTION

  This is the READ ME file for UUPC/extended 1.12w by Kendra Electronic
  Wonderworks, and was last updated March 8, 1998.  This same file
  is included in all the UUPC/extended archives.

BOILERPLATE

  UUPC/extended is a UUCP clone for DOS, OS/2, Windows 95/NT, and
  limited support for Windows 3.1.  The package includes MAIL and UUCP
  interfaces, a news backend (delivery program) and associated
  utilities.  UUPC/extended does not currently include a news reader.

  The software and associated documentation are copyrighted; individuals
  or corporations may use UUPC/extended on as many systems as they
  desire for as long as they want without paying a fee, but it is not
  public domain software.  Restrictions exist on how UUPC/extended may
  be copied or modified, primarily to insure the source remains
  available and that others are not charged for the software except for
  reasonable copying costs.  See LICENSE.TXT in this archive for the
  details.

  You are encouraged, but are not required, to register for telephone
  support of UUPC/extended, to optionally receive the next major release
  when available, and generally to encourage us to keep up this
  insanity.  See REGISTER.TXT in the documentation archive for
  additional details.  Note that Snuffles, our resident Plump Plush
  Platinum Programming Polar Bear, finds Girl Scouts Thin Mint Cookies
  especially encouraging.

  (I'm cute, too!  - S.P.B.)

ABOUT THE RELEASE

  UUPC/extended 1.12w is the second test release for POP3 support for
  the 32 bit environments Windows NT and OS/2.  This support is in two
  parts.  We also now an SMTP server, allowing full access for clients
  such as Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

ABOUT DOCUMENTATION

  The ASCII documents are in the file UPC???AD.ZIP file, assuming the
  current release is 1.???.  That is, the second three characters of the
  archive name are the last three digits of the release number.

  (The documents may be older than the release.  For example. the
  documentation archive UPC12BAD.ZIP shared space with releases as late
  as 1.12n).  The Word for Windows archive (UPC???AP.ZIP) may be newer
  than the base documentation archive, in which case it may have
  information on newer features.  If you do not have Word for Windows
  but do have Windows, you can download a free viewer from
  www.microsoft.com or via our listserv.

  The ASCII documents include overstrikes for printing on a printer.  To
  read the document on-line, extract the program NOVRSTRK from the
  UUPC/extended optional programs archive and issue the following
  command:

        NOVRSTRK filename.PRN filename.TXT

  Where filename is the name of the document you want to read.  You can
  then browse the terminal ready version of the document, UUPCDOCS.TXT.
  However, given that these documents are over 200 pages long, you'll
  want to either print it or have a good search function handy.

  READ THE DOCUMENTATION, including our copyright and license agreement,
  and the installation section on "Who should use UUPC/extended".  The
  same license is included in all archives, just like this document.

NOTES FOR WINDOWS 95 USERS

  Use the Windows NT archives under Windows 95.  We actually tested
  this, honest.

  One known bug under Windows 95 is that the 'abort, send?' prompt in
  mail gets the response character listed as the first character on the
  following input line as well.  We're looking into it.

NOTES FOR OS/2 USERS.

  The OS/2 32-bit executables are now stable, having been built with the
  IBM C++ compiler rather than Borland C++ for OS/2.  Please use the 32
  bit arvhives (UPC???2?.ZIP files) rather than the 16 bit OS/2
  archives.  Only the 32 bit OS/2 version includes TCP/IP support.

  We now include a DLL for the OS/2 version, this must be placed in a
  directory in your LIBPATH.  The easiest thing may be to simply add the
  OS/2 UUPC/extended binaries directory to your LIBPATH.

  NOTE:  There are two versions of UUCICO.EXE and RMAIL.EXE in the OS/2
         32 bit version:

         UUCICO.EXE/RMAIL.EXE has TCP/IP support and requires IBM
         TCP/IP for OS/2 be installed on the system.  The TCP/IP support
         (IBM Internet Connection) bundled with OS/2 Warp 3.0 is
         sufficient -- UUCICO will connect to another UUCP system over
         PPP or SL/IP nicely.

         The alternative modules UUCICON.EXE/RMAILN.EXE do not require
         TCP/IP.  If you do not have TCP/IP for OS/2, you must delete/
         rename UUCICO.EXE (and RMAIL.EXE) and rename UUCICON.EXE
         (RMAILN.EXE) to UUCICO.EXE (RMAIL.EXE) for them to work.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

  If you don't have a copy of HOWTOGET.TXT, either on its own or as a
  part of the main reference guide in the UPC???AD.ZIP, get a copy of it
  to determine what files you need for your environment, then read the
  documentation to learn how to install UUPC/extended.

  Once you are up and running, the documentation also includes
  instructions on how to stay current via the UUPC-Announce, UUPC-Info
  and the new UUPC-Info-digest mailing lists, and interesting stuff.
  Enjoy.
