As I see this request constantly reappearing on the net let me tell one and
all there already IS a VMS UUCP. It's called UVCP (cute no?) and it's from
the company named below. Now as to how good it is. Well lets just say it
does work, finally, after much pain and effort. As to whether the problems
was with UVCP itself (the first versions didn't work) or with VMS (probably)
or with our VMS Support Staff (who had NO desire to install anything that
makes it easier for UNIX to talk to their machines) I'm not sure. We finally
have it installed however, and let me tell you it's a whole lot easier then
using magtape and `vmstp'. The only problem is that uucp has to be hacked on
the UNIX end because of the difference between UNIX and VMS on line terminator
characters.

And I have no connection to the company, nor did I have anything to do with
installing it. It's just a lot easier then tape. I personally think it would
have been a whole lot better to get those VMS perverts to use a REAL OS.
