This file summarizes the list of known bugs, quirks, and missing
features in UUPC/extended version 1.11v.


Unfixed Bugs and Unsupported Function Summary
Unfixed Bugs and Unsupported Function Summary
Unfixed Bugs and Unsupported Function Summary


The refresh option of UUSTAT doesn't actually update the file
times.

Mail incorrectly parses an return address with a quoted
exclamation point, such as:

"Smarter than the average bear!"

In MAIL, the reply command gets confused by mixed mode addresses.

If compiled under Microsoft C, UUCICO exhibits inconsistent
results when compared to the original Borland C++ version,
specifically failing to terminate as gracefully when Cntrl-Break
is hit.

DECUS UUCP 1.1 won't exchange protocol information with
UUPC/extended. A fix for DECUS UUCP 1.1 was posted to the net,
and the bug is also fixed in version 1.2.

There is no working UUX command. (We're working on this one.)

The users STILL hate the lack of documentation. (We're working
on this, too.)

Hitting Ctrl-Break when UUCICO is executing in passive mode will
sometimes cause the system to branch to the TwiByte Zone.

Some editors, like EDLIN, cause the signature file to be lost
because the editor appends a ^Z (Control-Z) to the file.

UUPC/extended forces communications to No Parity, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit, no flow control.





September 4, 1992 Summary of known problems in
UUPC/extended 1.11v

Note
Note
Note:This is a requirement of the UUCP "g" protocol, which
requires a transparent data line, and thus is a
permanent restriction for "g" protocol connections.

UUCICO has a flaky "f" protocol module. Honestly, we're not
sure if it works or not.

The list of RFC-822 headers which are suppressed by the print
command cannot be altered by the user; they are displayed in an
all or nothing fashion.

UUPC/extended will not compile with versions of Borland
productions previous to Borland C++ 3.0. This is a permanent
restriction, and will not be corrected.

Input to the program RMAIL in local address mode (-t option) must
be in a specific format. It should accept any valid RFC-822
input. When sending mail, headers cannot be edited once entered.

RMAIL does not bounce failed mail back to the sender.

There is no 'Replyall' command to reply to all interested parties
to a message.

Entering '1' should print it if the option 'autoprint' is set.
Currently, it doesn't.

UUPC/extended doesn't support a news reader.

The user cannot configure which header lines are use by mail
determining From or Replyto addresses.

Lastly, this list is missing some bugs.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
