This tape contains Version 1.2 of DECUS uucp (formerly "VMSnet
software"), a package which allows VMS systems to exchange mail
and network news with other systems (including Unix systems, and
VMS systems running this software) using the uucp "g" protocol.
It is being distributed via the Spring '90 U.S.  DECUS VAX SIG
Symposium Tape, via the DECUS Program Library, and via direct
mail.  This version completely replaces Versions 0.2 and 1.1,
found on previous VAX SIG tapes.  Geoff Huston's ANU News,
Version 5.9C, with several minor additions (for uucp
integration), is included.

     Everything here has been compiled and linked under VMS V5.2.
(Version 1.1, which was present on the Spring '89 VAX SIG tape
(Atlanta), runs under both VMS V4.7 and V5.)

     Full documentation is in [.UUCP.DOC]USRGD12.MEM, and in
other files described therein.

     The tape contains a single saveset, UUCP12.BKP.  Restoring
it to disk will create a single directory tree, [UUCP...].  The
total space required for these files is about 40,000 blocks.
23,000 blocks of this are a compressed BACKUP saveset,
[UUCP]DEVEL.BKP-Z, which contains source files, object files, and
development tools; if you have no plans to work on the software,
you don't need to restore this to disk.  Use a qualifier such as
/EXCLUDE=DEVEL.BKP-Z on your backup command.

     If you do want the files from DEVEL.BKP-Z, use the tools
"compress" and "modatt" in this package to restore it.
Instructions are in the documentation.  After decompression the
saveset will take about 43,000 blocks; the files inside it total
somewhat less than this due to BACKUP's overhead.
