UUPC/extended is a package for MS-DOS and OS/2 which allows mail to be
exchanged between a PC and any system using the UUCP "g" protocol
(i.e. UNIX systems). It includes a UUCP command for binary
transfers, but it currently does _not_ include USENET news support.

Please direct questions on UUPC/extended to the UUPC/extended Help
Desk, [email protected].

OS/2 versions of the executable programs found in the UUPCxxxO
files.

MAIL.EXE is the mail user agent (MUA); it is used for both
sending and receiving mail.

UUCICO.EXE acts the mail transport agent by exchanging files with
other systems via the serial port (modem). It can both call out
(active polling) and wait for another system to call (passive
polling).

UUXQT.COM processes requests received via UUCICO, invoking
RMAIL.COM or other programs to process data. It should be run
after each UUCICO.EXE invocation.

RMAIL.COM is called by both MAIL.EXE and UUIO.EXE to deliver
mail; as such, it must be called RMAIL.COM.

then automatically invoking UUXQT to process any files received;
this permits unattended operation of UUPC/extended, allowing it,
for example, to call another system in the middle of the night.

UUCP.COM is copies binary files between two systems without going
through mail.

UUSTAT.COM is a utility to report on and update the status of
jobs queued for other systems.
