Is there any place, apart from the source code, that you can get a description
of the UUCP handshaking, transfer, and error checking protocols? I'd like to
be able to just use uucico for local file transfers so I could use the PC here
for personal archiving... 8" floppies are a pretty unreliable way to store
important data, since the next system is very unlikely to be able to use them.
