As a customer, I'd be delighted to have "me!user" work, and "me!anything!user" fail. Especially since I'd prefer it UUCP'd into my UUCP spool area, rather than uuencoded and mailed. Anyone inside Wang who wants it can pick it up via ftp from wang:/usr/spool/uucppublic. --- Tom Fitzgerald Wang Labs fitz@wang.com 1-508-967-5278 Lowell MA, USA ...!uunet!wang!fitz
