We are currently using UUCP with wildcards in the "copy from" specification. The problem we are having comes with a conversation fails (for whatever reason) with only a few of the commands in the C. file processed. When the remote system calls us again our system starts at the top of the C. file and retransmits the stuff. Many of the remote systems will refuse such attempts because it would overwrite the previous copy (assuming no one has moved it), but the main problem is that this is very wasteful. I suppose I could crank the number of command lines in C. files down (it is currently 20), but this is really not a solution. Does anyone out there have a solution?
