Mush runs under dos and uses UUPC to do the unix<->dos connections.
Currently only mush version 6.5 is available for DOS, but 7.1.2
(the current version) should be available when Mike O'Carroll returns
from Austrailia to England (he's the guy who did the DOS port).

To get the dos version, ftp to cse.ogi.edu in the directory pub/mush.
I *think* it's there (someone will probably correct me if I'm wrong).
Else, you can query comp.mail.mush for its whereabouts.

As I undersatnd it, both mush and uupc are available in the arc file
you get.  Note: *I* have nothing to do with the DOS version of this
product -- you must get it from the aforementioned ftp site or mail to
    Mike O'Carroll <lmoc@elec-eng.leeds.ac.uk>
