Didn't mean to offend anybody -- I guess I should have known better.  The
reason I asked such a brash question is this:  It just so happens that a
version of cu *was* posted to net.sources recently.  I've found that extremely
useful, & I guess you could call it the Push-Your-Luck department.  I know
you are working on [or have finished] ports of a uucp package to various
systems, on which you would stand to make some money, I assume.  Please don't
think that my posting is meant to imply that you aren't entitled to it, or
to undermine your business.  If there are no PD versions of uucp then that's
the end of it, as far as I'm concerned.  I'd buy your uucp for VMS tormorrow
if I were in charge of the budget of the school where I teach part time --
which of course I'm not.  As a software vendor myself I'm certainly not
trying to encourage any form of piracy!
