Well, someone doesn't have the best of UUCP providers... once again,
there are already TWO programs that do this, LISTSERV, by Pete Nelson,
and Lserv, by me (Gaven Cohen.)
Both are available via FTP -> nw.hamshack.com, login as 'anonymous' with
your e-mail address as your password. CD to /sys/wc/wccode. Pete's
program is LISTSERV.ZIP, and mine is LSERV100.ZIP - both have .TXT files
(with descriptions available.) I'm not sure though if Pete's app has
been recompiled yet for 4.01, but mine has.
One of Lserv's features also includes GET requests, so you can also get
the two LSERV files (LSERV100.TXT or the actual program, LSERV100.ZIP)
by sending a message to LISTSERV@COOL.ALT.ZA... in the message body,
put:
GET LSERV LSERV100.TXT
or GET LSERV LSERV100.ZIP
you can do both aswell, if you like. Eitherway, the file(s) will be
returned back UUencoded.
Cheers
Gaven
