SCO Xenix 2.3.1 HDB UUCP and SCO Xenix 2.2.3 UUCP use different
methods to implement `uucp file machine1!machine2!directory'.
If the Host machine is 2.3.1 and machine1 is 2.2.3 (or vice versa)
the requested copy is denied.

Example:
uuto file machine1!machine2!user

HDB UUCP: generates the following `uux' command:
 uucp -C file machine2!~/receive/user/hostmachine
This fails on `XQT DENIED' if machine1 is a 2.2.3 UUCP without putting
`uucp' in L.cmds.  [putting uucp in L.cmds seems suicidal].

OLD UUCP: generates the request:
 S file machine2!~receive/user/hostmachine
This fails on `PERMISSION (DENIED)' where the request is translated
to:  hostmachine!file --> machine1!machine2!~receive/user/hostmachine

Anyone else run into this?  Any work around(s)?
