I wonder if it would help UUPC if the DECUS UUCP was modified to
provide Shere=XXXXX instead of just the Shere? It is easy enough to do.

In UUCICO.C we can look at the code in the procedure "do_incoming"
and see that DECUS uucp only outputs the "Shere" part. 

static	char msgo2[] = "\20Shere\0";

do_incoming(ontheline)
{...
	/* output Shere message, wait for response */

	twrite(msgo2,sizeof(msgo2)-1);

...}

The fix is to sprintf to another buffer with msg02 and
other data as needed before you do the twrite.
