Does uupc have its own user agent front end?  Why?

The "features" listed here are all available in Mush and Mush
works with (is built for) UUPC on DOS and OS/2 machines.
I don't know a lot (anything) about the PC environment,
especially with respect to uupc, but if I may enquire to the
authors: why don't you just have UUPC do the mail transfer
and distribute Mush as the user agent for the program?

For those interested, the latest version of Mush (7.1.2) is
reported to have been completed by Mike O'Carroll.  His email
address is .  Ironically enough,
I don't where where you can ftp it from, but Mike has always
been good about sending people a copy of it if they request
it.  Perhaps someone can do so and make it available.

Disclaimer: Bart Schaefer and I have nothing to do with the
DOS port of Mush aside from blessing Mike's efforts in porting
it to DOS/OS-2), so please don't mail us about it.  You *can*
mail to mush-users@apple.com or comp.mail.mush (same thing)
and ask there -- there's lots of dos-mush users that read that
newsgroup.
