I'm trying to strip info out of the LOGFILE created by uucp.
Here is a reprint of a section of that file for purposes of discussion:

	uucp milo (3/19-15:44-3150) /usr/spool/uucp/LCK.SQ (CAN'T LOCK)
	uucp milo (3/19-15:44-3150) OK (startup)
	eric milo.p (3/19-15:44-3725) OK (startup)
	eric milo.p (3/19-15:44-3725) REQUEST (S /etc/group /tmp/milogrp eric)
	uucp milo (3/19-15:44-3150) REQUESTED (S /etc/group /tmp/milogrp eric)
	eric milo (3/19-15:44-3150) COPY (SUCCEEDED)
	eric milo.p (3/19-15:45-3725) REQUESTED (CY)
	eric milo.p (3/19-15:45-3725) OK (conversation complete)
	eric milo (3/19-15:45-3150) OK (conversation complete)

I can interpret the first three fields okay, but the last portion
is a bit obscure.  A recent submission to net.sources assumed
that REQUEST always meant that a file was being sent to a remote
system and COPY meant that a file was received from a remote system.
I have no problem with the assumption concerning COPY, but a quick
look at the source code seems to indicate that REQUEST can be attached
to send OR receive.  Is there any guide available which explains what
the various fields of the LOGFILE mean?  The source code is a rather
obscure source of info.

				Thanks,
