Has anybody already ported a news system? With "news system" I mean Taylor
UUCP, INN or CNEWS and TIN, maybe PINE or knews. Would be quite nice
considering that there don't seem to be newsreaders which support UUCP for
Windows.

Hi Thomas,

I have "ported" Taylor uucp :))
*uucp-1.06.1*
-----------
- what is it?
- Ian Taylor's Unix to Unix copy: mail and news over modem lines.
This is the standard UUCP package of the Free Software Foundation.
- system
- Windows NT4 German / SP3
- preliminaries
- none
- configure
- works without changes
- make
- works without changes
- make install
- edit ./Makefile
- remove or comment out all the lines with "chmod" and "chown",
because they can't handle .exe extensions
- run "make install" as normal
- notes
- none
- package availability
- on ftp.franken.de
- in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael
- as uucp-1.06.1-win32-bin.tar.gz
- or uucp-1.06.1-win32-bin.zip
- contributed by
- mh@mike.franken.de (Michael Hirmke)
You can see, why I said "ported". It compiles and installs nearly out of
the box. I use it for uucp over TCP, where it behaves exactly like on my
Linux box - no problem so far. I have never tested, though, if it will
work over a serial line.
Bye.
Michael.
