I think so too, the Xenix doc that I have, Vr2.2.3 is silent about it but
I have seen a number of references to /usr/lib/uucp/ORIGFILE and FWDFILE.
The Nutshell book and Microport System V/AT agree that ORIGFILE allows a
site to forward to any site known to your site if FWDFILE does not exist
and FWDFILE, if it exists, determines sites to whom forwarding may be done.
Those are for version 2 uucp, not HDB.  I have a little of each, two HDB
systems and two version 2, but have not tried to forward with any of them.

I have seen no mention of forwarding in the SCO documentation but it's worth
a shot.  ORIGFILE is laid out
system
or
system,user,user2,...

In conclusion and to repeat what has already been posted, the O'Reilly
"Managing UUCP and Usenet" book is immensely helpful for a mere mortal
to understand this stuff, (800) 338-6887.
