Kieth,

I've played with Rick's UUCP package, and it's nice!  BUT, you need to make
quite a few changes to the source code to get it to compile under OSK. He used
the _os9() 6809 routine for Get/Setstat calls which need to be changed to the
equivalent _gs_xxx or _ss_xxx functions in OSK.

What I did is used the preprocessor directive

 #ifdef OSK
 _gs_xxx
 #else
 ...
 ...
 _os9()
 #endif

Other than that, you need to use -DOSK when compiling the thing. So, if you
haven't done it before (Ported a program from the COCO) it will be a challenge,
but very doable.

I have sent E-Mail to Rick, asking for permission to port/post a new version
that will support both OSK and 6809 OS9.  SO you may want to hang on for a
while till I get a reply.  If he says "go for it", I'll post the sources here.

Mike
