Yes, TOP did a UUCP port... But, most people don't use it cause it
requires too much other stuff to get it running...Thats the problems with most
ofthe stuff from TOP... you HAVE to install the entire package... it trys to
turn your OS-9 system into a Unix system... Also... it is a major headache
to recompile anything from TOP, cause it requires all kinds of non-standard
libraries and header files.

Mike Haaland (and others) have put together a really good/complete UUCP
fir OSK (at least from what I hear, since I'm _still_ waiting for
Mike to send me a copy).

I run a port of Ricks UUCP for OSK on my system... I'll probably look into
adding the new enhancements to it, if I don't get something from Mike soon.
I REALLY need a UUCP package that can handle routeing mail through the
system properly, and can batch news feeds up for other systems... This
would help me to defer the cost that I now have to pay for my UUCP
connection.
