prompted the Usenix Association to fund the creation of the UUNET
Communications Service to assist users in accessing Usenet. Now, UUNET has
become the "best connected" UNIX computer in the world, and has been
authorized to function as an Arpanet mail gateway. Gateways to other networks
are expected to be established in the future.
I guess all use of UUNET is done through the UUCP program found on Unix
operating systems. Many people are getting PC versions of the Unix Operating
system now-a-days, so knowing what's available before getting hooked into
a network, if that's your plan, is advised. There is an advertisement about
UUNET on Bix in the networks conference somewhere. The message may be old,
but still useful.
The cost of using UUNET is: $30/month... and $2/hour. I think the hourly
charge may only apply if connecting through Tymnet. Not sure.
Accessible via Tymnet, their 800 number, or a regular local POTS number.
Connections can definitely be made up to 9600 baud. 19.2K baud access may
also exist. I think it does.
If you're a UUNET user, and want to receive mail from someone through the
UUCP network, they would address it just as any other UUCP mail address.
An example is: ...uunet!warble!joeuser

Welcome to Phrack Issue Nineteen! You will notice it is not as long as the
last Phrack but this is the month of SummerCon and plans have been made for
that. If you are interested just check PWN for details. Also, we do need
writers, so if you have a phile or know someone who does, please get in
contact with me. The next issue of Phrack will be full size again, but since
it is summer we all slowed down a bit. Don't worry though, Phrack will still
come out every month. Well, see you at SummerCon!

DCL Utilities for the VMS Hacker
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
By
The Mentor
Special thanks to Silver Spy for
turning me onto DCL in the first place!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone who spends time hacking on VAXes (by hacking, I don't just mean
trying to get in... I mean *doing* something once you're in!) notices that the
DCL command language is extremely powerful. I have put together a selection
of utilities that not only should prove helpful to the hacker, but serve as a
good example of programming in DCL.
Every attempt has been made to preserve unchanged the user-environment
from the initialization of the file to the exit. Any session-permanent
changes are documented.
Brief Overview of DCL
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
There are numerous files out there on DCL (the VMS help files are the
best place to find information), so I'm not going to teach you how to program
in it. To use the following code, isolate the section of code you want in
your favorite text editor, upload it into a file, and name the file
<progname>.COM. Anytime you see a file ending with .COM, you know it's a DCL
file. DCL files are executed by issuing the command
$@FILENAME
or, in the case of a file you want to run as a separate process,
$SPAWN/NOWAIT @FILENAME
Table of Contents
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
1. CD.DOC : This is the documentation for CD.COM (and the only
documentation file in the bunch.
2. CD.COM : A change directory utility, much like the PC command
CD, except more powerful. $SET DEFAULT is a pain in
the ass!
3. HUNT.COM : Searches a specified node for a given user. Useful
