76 AmigaUUCP

AmigaUUCP is a port of Unix to Unix CoPy    UUCP   to the Amiga. It allows an Amiga
to participate in the USEnet network. It has it's own   UUCP FAQ  
There are actually several versions of UUCP for the Amiga. I've lumped it all here
to make it easier on me. As I sort it out I may divide it into more informative
nodes.
Parts of UUPC (a version of UUCP by John Gilmore) were ported to  the Amiga by
William P. Loftus in 1986. After developing a system that  worked for him, it was
taken over by Matthew Dillon, who (along with a  cast of dozens) developed it into
a full-fledged   UUCP   package. Matt maintained AmigaUUCP (often called DUUCP) from
1988 until 1992.
In 1992, Matt had the press of other obligations; and after the release of
AmigaUUCP v1.16, turned the buglists over to Michael B. Smith.  Michael is in the
process of releasing AmigaUUCP v1.17. v1.17beta  has been available freely for
some months (currently at update #4).
After Matt quit working on UUCP, Kai 'wusel' Siering also started on a version of
UUCP based on AmigaUUCP v1.15. It has most of  the v1.16 enhancements as well as
other features.
