I am running UUCP on 0.9-- it came with UUCP, but only as sources.  Go
poke around /usr/src.  (/usr/src/libexce/uucp ?)

What you will find there is Taylor UUCP, version 1.04 or so.  As I recall,
it builds pretty easy.

I'll dig these up and send them along shortly.

Go into the sendmail sources and make the config files.  The UUCP-style
addressing works just fine if you expect to say "a!b!c!d".  

My only uucp connection is UUNET, which is serves as my mail exchanger,
so I modified the configuration file use UUCP for domain-style addresses.
I'll post that too.
