I deleted the README which was also included with it.

Whether ups has gotten past the alpha stage, I can't say.

I just checked it out and the stuff is still there, there's also a copy
of ups-2.45.2.

This seems to be a very sloooooow connection to the net.

ups-3.7-alpha was ported by someone, I've sent numerous mails out about this.
It appears that the file is no longer available though, maybe it got lost when
wcarchive bit the dust.

I may still have a copy of the port at home, I checked it out at Jordan's behest
to see how difficult it would be to get it to work with the gdb in the FreeBSD
distribution. I decided that it was more trouble than it was worth.
