C. files are NEVER transfered, they only tell UUCico *what* to transfer (the other two files). So you don't need permission or anything, creating a 0-length C. file is VALID, gets deleted in your system when UUCico passes it by, and effects nothing else. This is how I figure out whether a uucico ran properly or not as well. -Matt Matthew Dillon dillon@Overload.Berkeley.CA.US 891 Regal Rd. uunet.uu.net!overload!dillon Berkeley, Ca. 94708 USA
