Right now nobody is asking for it. (For the record, don't ask : >me, tell your support contact.) : I shall start debate. The current version of taylor is 1.06.1 and I have a : copy, I think.

As I recall, 1.06.1 was a simple: gzip -d source.tar.gz tar xvf source.tar edit policy.h (just tells uucp where to keep its laundry) make install This was with both BSD/OS 1.0 and 2.0.1. If you'd like, drop me a note and I'll send you my policy.h to start with.
