  In the orginial V.2 (non-HDB) uucp, one can do something like the
  following:

  uucp sys1!sys2!sys3!/tmp/foo foo

  In HDB uucp, this feature was disallowed. One can only have 1 site
  for the source file.

  Does anyone know what is the rationale behind the decision of dropping
  this feature? What is involve in fixing HDB uucp so that it will work
  with the old syntax again?

  Thanks
