The first publicly distributed version of UUPC made some overly
restrictive assumptions about what X. filenames look like; as a
result, it won't work when talking to an HDB site, because HDB names
the files differently than version 7-based UUCPs do.  Fortunately, the
latest and greatest UUPC does work with HDB sites, and is also much
nicer in other ways (better interface to the mailer, for instance).  I
am now using the "post-1.0-interim" version, which I UUCP'ed off of
van-bc.  It may or may not be available at uunet yet.  It can be FTP'd
from a variety of places.
