# About my uucp package ....
#

Hello Linux lovers !

This is my port of Ian Lance Taylors uucp package version 1.04.

This uucp package is distributed under the GPL see /etc/uucp/COPYING.

It's compiled on a Slackware 1.1.1 system using 

	- gcc-2.5.7	CFLAGS=-pipe -s -m486 -fomit-frame-pointer -O2
			LDLAGS=-s
	- gas-2.2
	- ld.so
	- libc.so.4.4.4

Why another uucp package ?
--------------------------

A little faster data transfer rates (additional 50 Bytes/sec.).

In the HDB example configuration file Systems.ex was a failure
in the template (scout55555).

Using ``Taylor UUCP configuration style'' as default offers more 
configuration features and is said to be more robust.

Using ``Taylor Logging and Spooling mode'' has enables the usage
of the contributed software that comes with t-uucp.

Support for all other configuration styles is additionally 
compiled in.	New Config Dir : /etc/uucp
		Old Config Dir : /usr/lib/uucp

This package isn't missing the uulog program ;-)

Additional uucp utilities (contributed stuff)

	uurate  - Report Taylor UUCP statistics
	uuspeed - a script to parse a Taylor UUCP Stats file into 
		  pretty results.
	uuclean - uucp housekeeping (yet untestet)
	uusnap  - tool to display the activities of the connected systems.
	uutraf  - uucp traffic statistic (requires perl)
	uutry   - try calling an uucp neighbor with lots of debugging
		  output
	xchat	- Extended chat processor (yet untested)

UUCP texinfo file ``uucp.texi'' is included. So you can make helpfiles 
for the ``info'' browsing system using ``makeinfo'' (that comes with 
slackware) and create high quality documentation using TeX and the
GNU texinfo.tex macro package.

Preinstalled info files are in /usr/info.
