Here is one for all you uucp/uucp map guru's.. I was rummaging
through the maps and started running "cost" values from differnet
sites and found an interesting item..

We have the following sites, 	A=cbosgd
(all from ohio map)		B=osu-eddie
				C=chemabs
				D=n8emr
				Number is "()" are link values.

		  (500)
		A-------B
	  (200) |	|(200)
		|	|
		D------	C
		 (5000)

From the uucp maps,	A talks to B,	B talks to A

			B talks to C,	C talks to B

			D talks to C,	C talks to D
			
			D talks to A	A Doesn't talk to D (according to maps)

Pathalias says that the shortest path from A to D is A!B!C!D
Why? Dosent pathalias take into effect that D talks to A???
Does pathalias take only into account info from the "FROM" site??
