System V based versions of uucp (that includes you-know-what) achieve
the same goal, in a different way.

Whenever a C.whatever is opened for processing, cico peeks to see if
there is a corresponding A.whatever file; if so, an integer is read
from the A. file and that many lines are skipped in the C. file.  After
completing the transaction on a given line of the C. file, the line
number is written into the A. file.

I'm not saying this is any better than what Lee suggests, but it
suffices.  I know I would be reluctant to write in the C. file.  On the
other hand, I believe Lauren uses Lee's scheme.
