I am trying to do a multi-hop file transfers between a combination of
System V systems,  and a single 4.2BSD systems. The problem is that
while the latest release of System V uucp supports multi-hops, 4.2BSD
uucp does not. On the other hand 4.2BSD has uusend for multi-hops,
while System V does not.

In one direction I am lucky. Originating from sys5a, I can say
	uucp <path-on-sys5a> sys5b!bsd!<path-on-bsd> which works.

However, I don't know a way to simulate:
	uucp <path-on-bsd>  sys5b!sys5a!<path-on-sys5a>

I would prefer not to use "mail" for the transfer for a variety
of reasons (some files are binary, some files are large-  uuencode
makes them larger, mail may be forwarded at the destination, etc).

Does anyone have a suggestion?
