- Yes, you are right. But it is not that it needs the ATT universe, but rather
- the correct search path (/usr/.attlib/uucp, not /usr/.ucblib/uucp) to find
- the Systems file. It would have been nice if it would have printed a "no
- Systems file" or "invalid system" message. But Sun's UUCP acts the same if
- the Systems file is missing, so I guess that's standard for HDB.
