INTRODUCTION

included in all the UUPC/extended archives.

UUPC/extended is a UUCP clone for DOS, OS/2 and, and Windows NT, and now
Windows 3.1. The package includes MAIL and UUCP commands, it does not
include a news reader.

ABOUT THE RELEASE

This is our first major release with documents since 1.11w in September
1992. The biggest change is the documentation has been entirely
rewritten and expanded. We welcome your comments and suggests on our
new documents.

New since release 1.11w is Windows NT support, 32 bit OS/2 support, and
limited Windows 3.1 support. The package also has support for
additional communications drivers, such as TCP/IP under Windows, named
pipes under OS/2, and FOSSIL under DOS.

See CHANGES.PRN for a detailed list of changes to UUPC/extended in
recent list.

The Windows NT, pre-existing 16 bit OS/2, and DOS versions are all
stable. The OS/2 32 bit support is stable but very new; the 16 bit OS/2
version continues to exist as a backup. The Windows 3.1 version should
be used only by those prepared to perform some debugging; it has known
problems with UUPOLL, for example. (It is mostly being released to
allow others to test with it and offer up fixes.)
