I trying out 1.65 with general success, but am running into one annoying 
problem with uuxqt and rmail.  When trying to unbatch the mail, I get the 
following error message.  (Someone suggested the upstream sight may be 
hardcoding the rmail command in his uux request).  Is there a workaround 
short of having the upstream sight change his mailer configuration, 
something I'd rather not ask him to do?  Perhaps a hard pointer to rmail 
(and rnews perhaps) in the static file? 

	Waffle v1.65 uuxqt  (C) Copyright 1992 Darkside International

I have grep'd the manual, but the solution hasn't presented itself.  If 
this has already been worked through, sorry for the bandwidth.  Replies

It appears that with release 2.01 of bbsmaild, the UniBoard mail daemon, I
have introduced a serious bug. There is a new version of bbsmaild available
on my site and, in a few hours, on wariat.org:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     other      37815 Oct  5 21:28 bbsmaild202.Z

This one is required in order to have email working correctly.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6]

This is probably not the right group to post this question, but I could not
find a "shareware" users group.

My question:  If I post software that I have written  to local BBS's (and have
friends post it around the country) as shareware, and ask for a reigitration
fee from people using the software over 30 days ( or what ever terms seem 
apprpriate) is this considered to be a business endeavor as far as the IRS
is concerened (ie am I entitled to depreciate my equipment/office space,
and deduct expenses incured during the development of (and related to)
this software, etc).  Do issues like how much time was spent writting
the software, is the software really commercial quality, etc. come into
the picture. 

If anyone knows of any good references concerning shareware and tax laws
(and any other shareware issues for that matter) please let me know.
Also, if there is a News group that would be more appropriate for this
question, again please let me know.

Thanks

Larry, thanks for posting this.  I'm glad to see that such a system is in

The Genie software is only being beta tested, there will only be a problem
if they don't fix this "bug" promptly.

I have received several requests for a port of my UniBoard package to the
Sun Sparcstation family.
Right now, only Intel architectures (i.e. 80x86, with x >= 3) are supported;
but I have plans to work on the port to SunOS as soon as this new release
of UniBoard will prove to be stable. I did a trial port with UniBoard 1.03
and it worked almost fine (if anyone's interested, I have a beta release here
on my system, file area #8). I think a first version could be released within
a month or two.. just be patient.

Ciao

OK, "hundreds" was an exaggeration, at least WRT pure operating costs.
That assumes you don't consider equipment maintenance, upgrades, etc, etc,
etc in the figure.

Of course when information is taken out of context it may seem inane, but
the map entries which were included for the gentleman seemed to help.

I think you'll find most solely 'UUCP' sites will provide you with a
"Usenet/UUCP/Email feed for free" providing you can meet with whatever
arbitrary standards that the sysadm has established.

Concerning my own system (and myself), I would be more than happy to
provide "Usenet/UUCP/Email feed for free" under the following condi-
tions --

	1)  You must connect with the nshore system at least during
	    two distinct period of time by polling the nshore system,
	    e.g., polling at 01:00 and at 05:00.

	2)  All connections with the nshore system be via High Speed
	    Modem, viz., V.32 modulation (9600 bps) or greater.

	3)  That each system be registered (at no charge) with the
	    'UUCP' mail network system as well as be willing to either
	    accept subdomaining to "nshore.org" or obtain their own
	    Domain Name (DN) thru "NIC.DNN.MIL", this to guarantee
	    uniqueness of sitename for mail and news delivery.

You're more than welcome to 'Email' reply if you're willing to pay the
Long Distance Telephone Charges.  I have a limit of on the number of
sites that I will accept and can, at present, accommodate three new
connections.
