These files are formatted, ready-to-print on standard 8 1/2 x 11 +inch paper, 66 lines per page. There are no printer control codes embedded +in any of the files. + +Please READ the documentation. It will, I hope, make installing the program +easy. If you find mistakes or unclear areas in the docs, please let me know. +I don't like documentation that is unclear. While I am not a writer by +profession, I would like to make the files as useful as possible. If they +are unclear, they are not very useful. + +The SAMPLE directory contains various files which go in the /DD/SYS/UUCP when +you are instructed to copy them there. You should edit these files to +conform to YOUR system. The file UUCPBB.DOC will explain what to change. +Each file contains an explanation of the file's contents. It is not necessary +to delete this information after you finish installing UUCP. + + +The MISC directory contains the following archives: + +SCF14.AR is Boisy Pitre's patch for OS-9/6809 Level 2 to allow SCF devices +to be made non-shareable. Instructions for applying the patch are contained +in the archive. + +MCRON12.LZH is Boisy Pitre's multi-user version of CRON for OS-9/6809. +Instructions are contained in the archive + +CONVERTPALM.LZH is Jeff Shepler's utility for use with his mailer, Palm. If +you are running Palm with Rick's original UUCP on the CoCo, use this utility +to convert Palm's mail to the new form used by UUCPbb. + +UUTOOLS.LZH is a version of uuencode and uudecode which allows large files to +split into smaller files. Many UUCP will reject mail files larger than about +100K. UUE (uuencode) allows you easier send a large file in smaller pieces. +UUD (uudecode) allows you to put these pieces back together and decode than +without a lot of hassles. Only the OS-9/6809 executables are in this file. +Put these in your execution directory with names uue and uud. + +UUTOOLS_SRC.LZH is the source for UUE and UUD. It includes makefiles for +the OS-9/6809 and OSK versions. Put the executables in your execution +directory with the names uue and uud. + +CM.LZH is a mail monitor for use with UUCPbb under OSK. It runs in the +background and checks for new mail at regular intervals. This utility +was contributed by Boisy. Questions or suggestions about it should be +sent to him. + +DESKTOP.LZH was also contributed by Boisy. The archive contains some AIF/icon +files for a particular GUI on the MM/1 called Desktop.
