You must have a thoroughly broken version of HDB, perhaps your UNIX
supplier will respond to rude words? Job grades work perfectly, at
least in my version which I realize is several revision levels above
versions out there in the real world.

Reminder, the job grade is the first letter of the filename *after*
the C. and first 5 letters of the remote sitename, so that the uucp
job referenced by C.mtuneO42d2 has a job grade of 'O', which in turn
means that it will be processed after all the 'A's, 'B's, ... and 'N's,
but before the 'P's, ... and 'Z's.
