    The last time I did UUCP on Windows I did it with Cygwin. That was
    probably 15 years ago.

    I think that WSL has largely supplanted that. I don't know if WSL
    includes UUCP or if it could be used to compile therein. Nor do I know
    how graceful interactions with UUCP would be from batch (.bat) and
    command (.cmd) files.

    I was using Windows task scheduler to call command files which were
    using UUCP from Cygwin to shuffle audio files for me from a system with
    a radio tuner card. I was recording Prairie Home Companion and Hearts
    of Space off of the local NPR station.

    At one point I ported UUPC/Extended (UUCP but for Windows and DOS PCs)
    to a Windows 7 computer. The original source (not written by me) is
    here, but I don't know which hard drive I saved my modifications on:

    You can install the UUCP code in WSL2 Ubuntu (for example)

    sudo apt install uucp , it will work.
