Is there much floating-point in netnews/UUCP? (serious question).

If not, I claim decwrl on real hardware (bad FPU)

Zilog and cae780 are downstream of ucbvax.

Hopefully not too badly...Coyote Creek is /still/ high over here.

The github repo is a good ready-to-run environment - feel free to poke me 
if you run in to any weird issues...I rolled my own so hit many of 'em.

Ok, the nascent historical uucp network now has 11 sites:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DoctorWkt/4bsd-uucp/4.3BSD/uucp.png
and the build software is quite stable: https://github.com/DoctorWkt/4bsd-uucp

We'd like to get a few more sites up and running. If you've ever wanted to
"be" an important uucp/Usenet site, here's your chance. E-mail me!

So I've been lame on this project, I want to be uwvax, need to step up.
I've been distracted because where I live has been hit with a crazy 
amount of rain, I have multiple landsides that have washed out roads
on just my property, the county has over 100 roads that are damaged 
or closed, and I've stepped up to help a bit:

http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/17/mountain-vigilantes-tackle-plague-of-potholes/

It's gonna start raining again tomorrow which means I won't be patching roads
but I also help the fire department with downed trees (I used to run a tree
service in college) so maybe more distractions.

Anyhoo, is there a cheatsheet for dummies on how to get set up?

I don't particularly want to run the Swedish enea site myself, but if no
one else wants it, I'll run it.

I have made arrangements to connect it to mcvax.  But I have run into
some problems getting enea up and running, so I'll be a while yet.

After years of listening to John C Dvorak bitch about potholes, it's great to see it's finally being addressed...

Probably only those programs (if any) generating stats.  FP was probably 
used in path cost, but that's external.
