I wrote a program for this long long ago it's in the comp.sources.unix archives and I called process-uucp (or some such name) SCO took it and included it with the MMDF they include in SCO/Unix and changed its name to uuprocess. They unfortunately (or so I hear) didn't fix a BSD-ism I had at the time which is that I generated really long file names for the output files. I don't know what else they did or did not do (I'm a bit surprised the USAGE: message is so short, I usually don't write such short ones..) It would be pretty trivial to take my code from comp.sources.unix and fiddle with the file name generation stuff. Or you can save me a bit of time and do what I'm intending to do, which is ... change the -d and -c options so they take their arguments as -d domain,file -c domain,file and to add a "-o file" option.. Just make sure and pass back the changes to me (please??) -- <- David Herron, an MMDF weenie, <- Formerly: David Herron -- NonResident E-Mail Hack <- <- Sign me up for one "I survived Jaka's Story" T-shirt!
