Normally a file is received in a sub-directory of /usr/spool/uucppublic. The uucico program builds the sub-directorys. The program fails the first time the directory structure is built, but works on the 2nd try. So, a lot of times the 1st file has to be sent twice, i.e. uuto -p file1 tness7!mechjgh uuto -p file1 tness7!mechjgh uuto -p file2 tness7!mechjgh uuto -p file3 tness7!mechjgh uuto -p file4 tness7!mechjgh This was reported to Pyramid RTOC, who says it is a known bug and is on the list to be fixed. Soon I hope. -- Greg Hackney Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. Dallas, Texas root@tness7.UUCP
