- Why You Should Register Why You Should Register Why You Should Register UUPC/extended UUPC/extended UUPC/extended
-
- Kendra Electronic Wonderworks now offers the opportunity for you
- to register your copy of UUPC/extended. Here's why:
-
- As a reasonable guess, around 1200 hours of work have gone
- into it here the Wonderworks. This is a non-trivial amount.
-
- Most of the e-mail received outside the KEW.COM domain is
- now related to UUPC/extended. This, combined with the major
- intra-domain e-mail requirements1 for KEW.COM having gone
- away, threatens to make UUPC/extended its own perpetual
- motion machine: we maintain UUPC/extended to stay in touch
- with the outside world, and the outside world sends us mail
- about maintaining UUPC/extended.
-
- It is an accepted fact that the original UUPC was not
- written by Kendra Electronic Wonderworks, and that others
- have written numerous additional features including UUCP,
- UUX, and pending features including support for the "f"
- protocol and news. What is not as clear is the work done
- here which goes into integrating and polishing these
- features. Because of work done here, people can take the
- work done all over world and use it by unpacking a few
- files.
-
- Ryder rents trucks, Avis tries harder, MIT wins the
- Yale/Harvard game, and Kendra Electronic Wonderworks hunts
- bugs. Lots of bugs: bugs from the dawn of UUPC, bugs from
- other people's code, and even bugs we introduced (Ooops).
- A second system is maintained here primarily for providing
- downloading services to others via anonymous UUCP and for
- hunting bugs. Only RAID kills more bugs. We also integrate
- bug fixes from other people, so those few files we give to
- others to unpack not only have more features but also bug
- fixes.
-
-
-
-
- 1The owner of kendra.kew.com is marrying the owner of
- athena.kew.com in October, 1992. Thus, the transcontinental
- UUPC/extended link previously used by the happy couple has been
- replaced by an Ethernet. Send congratulations to
- binkley@kew.com, our resident ether bunny.

-
- Bug hunting can be a bitch, and writing documentation is
- worse. Kendra Electronic Wonderworks has done both gratis
- for two years. Beginning with release 1.11m, the
- documentation has been expanded, and will be further
- enhanced to make the package easier to use. This does not
- benefit the internal users; we know how it works, and don't
- need the documents.
-
- Because if you register, we can buy more chocolate ice cream
- for Snuffles.
-
- The short version of the above is you have the package; what you
- can optionally pay for is additional enhancements and support by
- the creatures most knowledgeable about UUPC/extended. However, However, However,
- we would rather you used an unregistered copy of our package than
- used someone else's inferior package.

- And as an added bonus And as an added bonus And as an added bonus
-
- Send us anything and Snuffles will think you're wonderful.
-
- Send us $20 and we'll mail you the official UUPC/extended support
- telephone number. We'll even return your phone calls in the
- United States.
-
- Send us $40 and we'll mail the official UUPC/extended support
- number and, when available, the next major release of
- UUPC/extended on floppies.
-
- Send us $50 and we'll mail the official UUPC/extended support
- number, the next major release of UUPC/extended when available,
- and throw in a hard copy of the documentation.
-
- Send us $100 and we'll mail the official UUPC/extended support
- number, the next major release of UUPC/extended when available,
- throw in a hard copy of the documentation, and have you committed
- to the sanitarium of your choice.
-
- Corporations cannot be committed to sanitariums, but we will take
- your money. Use the above schedule for each contact person, and
- add $10 for each additional node supported. For example, XYZ
- Systems Corp. has one contact person who calls the Wonderworks
- for support ($50), and one backup contact at a secondary location
- ($20). They want the docs so that they can distribute them to 10
- different UUPC nodes scattered around the company ($10 each).
- The primary contact person figures out how to get a contribution
- to Snuffles' Chocolate Ice Cream Fund past accounting ($1). XYZ
- Systems would thus send us a check for $171.
-
- We will invoice corporations on request.
