    I'm having a bit of a problem with UUPC for the Amiga.  I am using the
binaries from Fish disk #109.  I am attempting to use UUPC to transfer mail
between myself and a Sys V system (the one from which I am posting this,
as a matter of fact).  It works fine for mail from my Amiga to the host, but
not the other way around.
    What happens is this: UUPC calls, logs in, and delivers mail just like
it's supposed to.  Then it receives all of the D. and X. files for the mail
coming from the host, and logs off.  So far, so good.  At this point, UUPC
is supposed to scan the :usr/spool/uucp directory for incoming X. files,
and execute the commands found in them.  However, it does not do this, so
my mail just sits around in the spool directory instead of being moved to
my mailbox.
    Running UUPC with a high debugging level provides some interesting
information on this... apparently, UUPC goes through the directory but
never properly finds the X. files.  The debugging output from the routine
that scans the directory shows that it is comparing filenames to find those
beginning with X., yet it goes right by every one that matches.

    I'm not sure whether this is a problem in the program, or just an
oversight on my part.  I would like to hear from other users of UUPC...
if you are successfully using this program, please send me some mail
with any information you think might be helpful... problems you've had,
how you've got it set up, etc.
    Thanks...

G'day, eh?
