This program is still in the test stage and not available yet. However, any long term effort in this direction will probably be wasted, since the world appears about ready to go with arpa's proposed user.host@network universal address syntax. Thus, my address would be mark.cbosgd@uucp. All the same routing issues come up, but why invent the wheel twice? ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
