I had fixed that one too.

When a file was sent over that contained work to do, UUPC assumed that
the file was called x_ where sitename is the site I was
calling.  But in my case it was actually called x_ so I mod'ed 
UUPC to allow x_ to be taken as a command file.  Context diffs

I also modified the makefile to work under MS make, since that was all that
I had.  Let me know if you want a copy.
