UUXQT, the base parser for Taylor UUCP packets is working great with Taylor
1.04 packets. However, since my feed IS 1.04, I haven't had the time to work
in 1.03 yet.

I'll probably be releasing it around the time that METAL 1.09.02 and
FutureVision 5.0 are avaialble. I'd LIKE to start working on a UUCP-g package
for METAL, but I don't have any of the current source code for the X/Y modem
drivers to "steal" from. (I'd really need to see how TC worked out Y-modem
4k, since UUCP-g can handle 32 byte to 4096 bye packages.)
