I tried to reply via email, but got this ricochet bounce error message.
I also tried to reply to your x.400 account, but you didn't provide any PRMD
info, so I don't think you'll get that, either.

I happened to keep the relevant post, just in case this sort of request
should arise.  Of course, the originator might also contact you...

Well - it was me who posted the article about patching uucico, so here's
the way to do it:

1. Copy uucico.exe to uucicog.exe
2. Use a diskeditor supporting search-commands (Norton's DiskEdit works
   fine) to modify this file.
3. Search for the string 'U%c'.
4. Replace it with 'UG' and a nullbyte.
5. Save your changes.
6. Quit the editor
7. If using BNU (or any other FOSSIL), remember to set the buffers
   high enough to hold 7*512 bytes, otherwise results may not be as
   expected...
8. Try connecting to a site supporting 'G'-protocol with command-line
   option '-k 512' using the patched uucico.

Good luck!
