But I've checked it now, and as I thought, it is just what I thought: a bug in inews. The problem is that inews doesn't understand how continuation of headers works. It simply ignores everything that is part of the header on the line(s) before. At least it is doing this with the Reference header. For your information, a little piece of RFC 1036: A standard USENET message consists of several header lines, followed by a blank line, followed by the body of the message. Each header line consist of a keyword, a colon, a blank, and some additional information. This is a subset of the Internet standard, simplified to allow simpler software to handle it. The "From" line may optionally include a full name, in the format above, or use the Internet angle bracket syntax. To keep the implementations simple, other formats (for example, with part of the machine address after -> the close parenthesis) are not allowed. The Internet convention of -> continuation header lines (beginning with a blank or tab) is -> allowed. Seems clear enough, isn't it? -- Eric Veldhuyzen TEAM OS/2 Eric.Veldhuyzen@si.hhs.nl CIS: [100010,3051] Eric@terra.xs4all.nl PGP-KeyID: 0xFB64FCB3 ************ FIGHT to keep your right to PRIVACY.

I just got my machine back up, minus one worthy piece of hardware, so I cannot look up the quoted RFC (or, most of the others). However, it is a UNIX convention to put a backslash at the end of a line that is to be continued. The way I read the above is that the long line is ended by a backslash, in the "convention of continuation ... lines", then the next line is begun with whitespace. Not having dealt with myself, and not being able to look it up (and being unwilling to download it again right now), I have no way of knowing if my interpretation is out in left field or not.

To: UUPC/Extended mailing list I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of developing a chat script to connect via a secondary packet network. My service provider allows local call access by getting space via a packet network. Their login process is as follows (my input is marker ^^^): Pipes vPoP login: ibmwinuk ^^^^^^^^ Password: kuniw ^^^^^ Telnet connected to WinNet.... login: netmedia ^^^^^^^^ Password: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If attempted manually this always provides the comforting Shere message of uucp. However, no matter how I write my scripts I always end up with the error message: Unexpected second message: LOGIN and the line drops. I've been able to determine that I reach the final "Password:" prompt OK so reckon my scripts are working as far as they go but cannot overcome this last hurdle. My systems file has variously looked like the following (but without the line breaks!): ibmpcug Any samphigh 38400 628025 g "" \n\n ogin:-\n\n-ogin:-\n\n-ogin: \dibmwinuk ssword: kuniw ogin:-\n\n-ogin:-\n\n-ogin: \dnetmedia ssword: ibmpcug Any samphigh 38400 628025 g ogin: ibmwinuk ssword: kuniw ogin: netmedia ssword: I get the same error each and every time. I am using UUPC for DOS version 1.12h and have successfully written scripts for other systems without trouble for different people. Can anybody suggest if I'm missing something?

Do I need any telnet daemon for the remote side? or MS-Kermit, etc... since I just connect the two NT machine by a null modem, but seems it don't have any response from the remote side, I am new to UUPC/extended, hope you can help me.

Best regards, Kenneth ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Jul 96 10:38:54 -0600 From: drew@cgo.dec.com Subject: I Have Win 95 UUPC/UUCICO with Tapi support To: UUPC/Extended mailing list I have added Windows 95 TAPI support to UUPC's 1.12r uucico and also made it, and uupoll into Windows 32 APPs, rather than CONSOLE/DOS app without any major changes to the source code base. I've simply added a winstdio.obj to vector all stdio to a scrollable window, and written all the tapi support into one module (tapi.obj). This results in the following features for Windows 95 (& Windows NT 4.0) o Does not lock the serial port, able to use other TAPI apps while uucico is waiting for a call, like fax, dialup networking etc.. o Can use with WINFAX to receive fax'es and DATA calls at the same time. Winfax will pass DATA calls to this tapi version of uucico if it is a data call. (Winfax Ver 7.02 required). THIS IS GREAT!! o Can even start an outgoing uucico process without affecting the waiting uucico process that is waiting for incomming calls. o uucico and uupoll are both windows apps and do not allocate a VDM like console apps do, resulting in using less memory being used. o You get the nice MODEM LIGHTS on the systray when uucico is connected like you do for dialup networking connections. I have not heavily tested this, but feel its time to let others at it or at least pass the source back to Drew, what is the best way to do this? I would'nt distribute anything until I get the stamp of approval? I have not tried it with Windows nt v4.0, but NT 4 does have TAPI so it may work or may need some adjustments. regards, Steve Drew. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jul 1996 07:28:40 -0700 From: Mark@BelServ.COM Subject: I Have Win 95 UUPC/UUCICO with Tapi support To: UUPC/Extended mailing list On 9 Jul 96 at 10:38, drew@cgo.dec.com wrote: > I have added Windows 95 TAPI support to UUPC's 1.12r uucico and > also made it, and uupoll into Windows 32 APPs, rather than CONSOLE/DOS app > without any major changes to the source code base. This has been my number one wish-list item for UUPC for some time now. I would sure like to test this on my system. How can I get a copy?
