You can get the GNU source code from Beckemeyer for $10 (to cover shipping/handling idsk :-) Included in the uucp package for $49.95 is other Beckemeyer software which is not GNU code. By the way, I wrote a GFA Basic version of uucp, and anyone who wants a copy of it (sorce code) can get it free for the asking. It seems to work for me. -- - John M.
