Since I'm in the process of digging around in the innards of uux and uucp
(Honey Danber version) I thought about implementing a command line option,
say "-L" that would work like "-C" and make a copy, but the copy would be
a link if feasible.

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??
