The original 1978 version that shipped with V7 and 32/V (BSD 4.1 and 4.2) 2,) PC-UUCP for DOS came next -- I never knew how much was ripped off from the original, because at the time, the Chesson's G protocol was not well specified. The authors claimed to have reverse engineered it - I will say it worked. 3.) Honey-Dan-Ber rewrite - most popular for a long time 4.) Taylor UUCP first real clone that I know of that I do think was done with out looking at other's source. G protocol had been publicly documented by then and the Trailblazer in fact was shipping with the protocol imbedded in it. Any others that folks know about and how well were they used? Did things like Coherent have a UUCP? Linux and FreeBSD were able to use to Taylor UUCP because it became available by then. Whitesmith's Idris lacked anything like UUCP IIRC (but was based on V6). Same with Thoth originally at Waterloo, but by the time they shipped it as the QNX product it was V7 compliant but I do not remember a UUCP being included in it. Minux lacked a UUCP as I recall, but I'm hazy on that has Andy's crew wrote a lot of the user space. Coherent was a "full" V7 clone and include things like the dev tools including yacc/lex and was released much, much before the Taylor version came out -- so what do they use for uucp if at all? Does anyone remember any other implementations? Clem -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
