Oh, I tried it. When you send a large file, it doesn't rename the temp file to the destination filename; it *copies* it. Even if they're on the same filesystem. As soon as I discovered that, I switched to UUCP. If MICNET is careless in copying files, what else is carelessly written? Best not to find out the hard way.
