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

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.
