Actually, I am aware of this modification.  I believe Erik Fair has a
mod for Berkeley uux which allows uux -l.  Since Pyramid uses
Berkeley, maybe that is where it came from.  In the multibatch system,
uucast is called from within the shell script multisend.  You can
easily modify it to use uux -l if you have that available.  Mel
Pleasant is running multibatch at rutgers, and I believe he has done this.
