Xfernews was designed to allow news to be transfered using vanilla
uucp.  Modifications to uucp such as the -z option and separate
subdirectories are unnecessary if you run xfernews.  Xfernews will
retransmit lost articles so it can be used with buggy uucp's.  The
code was posted to net.sources about a year ago.  I will repost it
if there is interest.
