(Sigh) Just how much time to you think Tom spends on the UUCP stuff?
Very little on the **ix platforms, I can tell you.  On Dos, it works, and
has for quite some time.  The changes the the UUCP stuff come under the
'tweaks' category.  The code is already good, fairly robust, and functional.

The area that needs the most work are the User Interface.  With the current
talk about off-line QWK readers, and Chrome, I think this is pretty clear.

On the source code thing:  Having source is nice, but I really don't want to
go making wholesale changes.  If I do, then I have a MAJOR problem the next
time Tom comes out with an update.  As he does real good work, I WANT his
upgrades.  Therefore, hacking the source on a large scale is just not
practical.
