The benefit would be in files that are broadcast to many sites (like news batches). One could do the uux -L of the same file to several sites and not pay the penalty of multiple copies taking up space in /usr/spool. The advantage over the -C option is that the original file could be removed and the space would be freed up when the last transfer took place. Any comments?? -Mike Wescott ncrcae!wescott -- -Mike Wescott ncrcae!wescott
