Hi all...

I am having a problem getting uucp to run on my Minix-386 (32-bit) box.

The version I am using is from the ftp_contrib directory of plains
known as uucp3-sys.lzh.

The problem is that, using uucp to transfer a short file (~140 bytes)
from Minix to another (non-minix) machine, the file gets there BUT it
has about 1000 bytes, mostly NULLs, tacked on the front :-(.

Transfer from the other host to Minix works ok.

Has anyone else seen this problem ?

The earlier version from plains all.contrib directory did the transfer
ok (although there seemed to be other problems).

Thanks in advance.
