This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


C.J. Collier <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: GnuBucks
System name: gnubucks
Type: GNU

Description:
GnuBucks is an alternative currency transfer system based on SMTP.  
Essentially, it makes transfering money-like-objects as easy as sending email.  
This implementation is written in Perl, taking advantage of many of the modules 
from the CPAN.  http://www.gnubucks.com/ is the first GnuBucks distribution 
client.  It is not as distributed as I hope the project becomes, but it is a 
start.  Here are some notes about getting the source.  I have been having 
permission issues with the CVS repository, so if you have any problems getting 
the source, contact me at address@hidden, and I will let you access the source.

<pre>
If you\'re interested in taking a look at the GnuBucks source, here\'s the
CVS repository information.  If you\'re not, please read no further.

pserver user: \'anonymous\' (no password)
CVS_ROOT: \':pserver:address@hidden:/home/cvs\'
CVS module name: \'gnubucks\'

Toby Cabot <address@hidden>.  He was unable to access my source via CVS because 
I was having problems running my own CVS repository.
