This directory or tape contains Version 2.0 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.  Geoff Huston's ANU News, Version 6.1 Alpha-4
is included, along with command procedures and programs for uucp
integration.

     Everything here has been compiled and linked under
VMS V5.4-x or 5.5.  All images are known to work under 5.4-x, and
possibly earlier versions.  Object files are present (in the
"development" savesets) for aid in linking under earlier
versions.

     The network and magtape distributions each consist of
several savesets.  (In the network distribution, all but one of
these savesets (UU20BOOT.BKP) has been compressed.)~ Saveset
UU20BOOT.BKP contains the primary documentation for the package
in [UUCP.DOC]USRGD20.MEM, directory listings of the savesets and
of the entire [UUCP] tree, and (for network distribution) tools
for decompressing the other savesets.  Chapter 2, "Installing the
Files", of USRGD20.MEM contains descriptions of the contents of
each saveset (so you can decide which ones you need) plus
instructions for restoring them from either tape or network
distributions.

     After decompression, the total space required for the
[UUCP...] tree is about 57,000 blocks.  However, at least half of
this will not be needed by most sites; sites that don't need the
uucp maps and aren't running news can run uucp in about 6,000
blocks (plus log files).

     Sites that are currently running older versions of DECUS
uucp and/or NEWS will probably need only the "RUN" saveset.
After restoring it as described in "Installing the Files", see
the appendix, "Upgrading from Previous Versions", in USRGD20.MEM.
