INTRODUCTION

This is the READ ME file for UUPC/extended 1.12j by Kendra Electronic
Wonderworks, and was last updated May 25, 1994.  This same file is
included in all the UUPC/extended archives.

UUPC/extended is a UUCP clone for DOS, OS/2 and Windows NT, and now
Windows 3.1.  The package includes MAIL and UUCP interfaces, it does not
include a news reader.

The software and associated documentation is copyrighted; individuals or
corporations may use UUPC/extended on as many systems as they desire for
as long as they want without paying a fee, but it is not public domain
software.  Restrictions exist on how UUPC/extended may be copied or
modified, primarily to insure the source remains available and that
others are not charged for the software except for reasonable copying
costs.  See LICENSE.PRN in the documentation archive UPC12BAD.ZIP for
the details.

You are encouraged, but are not required, to register for telephone
support of UUPC/extended, optionally receive the next major release when
available, and generally encourage us to keep this insanity up.  See
REGISTER.PRN for additional details.  Note that Snuffles, our resident
Plush Platium Programming Polar Bear, finds Girl Scouts Thin Mint
Cookies especially encouraging.

ABOUT DOCUMENTATION

The ASCII documents are in the file UPC12KAD.ZIP file, assuming the current
release is 1.12K.

The ASCII documents include overstrikes for printing on a printer.  To read 
the document on-line, extract the program NOVRSTRK from the UUPC/extended 
optional programs archive and issue the following command:

		NOVRSTRK filename.PRN filename.TXT

Where filename is the name of the document you want to read.  You can then 
browse the terminal ready version of the document, UUPCDOCS.TXT.  However, 
given that these documents are over 200 pages long, you'll want to either 
print it or have a good search function handy.  

READ THE DOCUMENTATION, including our copyright and license agreement, and 
the installation section on "Who should use UUPC/extended".


ABOUT THE RELEASE

1.12b in October 1993 was our first major release with documents since
1.11w in September 1992.  The biggest change is the documentation has
been entirely rewritten and expanded.  We welcome your comments and
suggestions on our new documents.

This release, 1.12j is includes many bug fixes and a reformatted source
on top of 1.12b's base code.  This release has also minor enhancements
to UUCICO (the 'e' protocol, and external shells under OS/2 are now
supported), enhancements to news by Kai Uwe Rommel, a port of the UUTRAF
utility by Kai Uwe Rommel, and TCP/IP support for OS/2 32 bit
UUPC/extended.

The OS/2 32 bit executables are now reasonably stable, having been built
with the IBM C++ compiler rather than Borland C++ for OS/2.

NOTE: There are two versions of UUCICO.EXE in the OS/2 32 bit version.
      UUCICO.EXE has TCP/IP support and requires IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 be
      installed on the system.  UUCICON.EXE does not.  If you do not
      have TCP/IP for OS/2, you must delete UUCICO.EXE and rename
      UUCICON.EXE to UUCICO.EXE for it to work.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

If you insist on retrieving all the files at once, a short guide to the
1.12j archive names is in order:

        UPC12BAD.ZIP            Documentation/sample archives
        UPC12JAP.ZIP            Documentation in Post Script format (no
                                samples)
        UPC12JAW.ZIP            Documentation source (Word for Windows
                                format, no samples)
        UPC12JD?.ZIP            MS-DOS executables
        UPC12J1?.ZIP            OS/2 1.x or 2.x (16 bit) executables
        UPC12J2?.ZIP            OS/2 2.x (32 bit) executables
        UPC12JN?.ZIP            Windows NT executables
        UPC12JS?.ZIP            Source archives


The Windows 3.1 version of UUPC/extended uses some DOS modules such as
MAIL, UUXQT and RMAIL; if your target environment is Windows, you must
retrieve the DOS files as well and install the DOS version first as a
foundation.  See the advanced installation instructions for additional
comments on Windows.

Note that as of release 1.12d, the number of source archives was
expanded from 2 to 4 to make archives small enough to fit on a 360K
floppy.
