Overview

This hands-on guide provides simple, economical methods for building an e-mail system of almost any size, incorporating almost any combination of operating systems. An ideal reference book for system administrators, e-mail designers, and engineers who need to develop an integrated e-mail system-particularly where the budget is limited and where Unix software is involved. This book comes with a diskette full of shareware programs and utilities such as UUPlus, WinNET, and Waffle.

The UNIX-to-UNIX Copy Program (UUCP) is an inexpensive source of electronic mail software. This is the first complete how-to guide for adapting, designing, and implementing a UUCP program for non-UNIX computers. All the information needed is here--in practical terms. Disk contains public domain and shareware products, with an automated installation procedure.
