This is a README file for UFT for the '96 VM Workshop.
(there's another UFT README (uft.readme) that rambles on about
how it's supposed to work,  which really should be shortened)
UFT is Internet SENDFILE.   Where NJE connectivity isn't practical
(or isn't possible or isn't approved by management)  if we still have
IP connectivity,  then we can send files with this thing.   You don't
need to install the server (UFTD) to use the client (SENDFILE),  and
vice versa.
 
LOOK:  BITNET will terminate at the end of this year.
How will we keep all our beloved VM systems connected?
Sure,  we can FTP files back and forth,  but it's an
administrative hassle.   Or do you want your users
sharing passwords?   It will happen.   [sigh]
To prevent that,  use this package.
 
I have to admit that even here I've fallen behind.
There are a lot of minor things wrong with SENDFILE,
and even with MSGD.   The worst of it would be  (at this time)
the poor state of the MIME mode support.   But it does work
and it doesn't crash your system.   (disclaimer:  if it should
ever crash your system,  I will not be held liable;  this thing
is shared with the public in good faith)

I hope you like it.   I hope you LOVE it.
