	For your information:

	There IS a full document describing the g protocol in one of the
	unix archives. I believe G protocol is just g protocol with
	some of the packet paramaters and window size configurable from
	a file in /etc/uucp. I believe packet size and window size are
	what the G protocol lets you specify in a config file.

	If you post a question about the g protocol document someone
	may have the archive name and/or mail it to you.

	File recovery with G is the same a g, they are the same protocol
	it's just that g's parameters are hardcoded into the binary and
	G can read them from a UUCP config file. Basically, UUCP deletes
	the file after it's been successfully transfered and keeps it
	till it has been sucessfully transfered.

	You might also check out the UUCP book from O'Reilly and Associates,
	it has alot of info on UUCP and how to set it up, maintain and
	use it. Send email to nutts@ora.com for info on all the O'Reilly
	and Associates UNIX help books.

		Good luck,
