- Under SunOS 4.1.1, "uucp x host1!host2!y" generates a command that
- starts with "uux -C". Is the "-C" really necessary? We have a user
- here who tried to send out 100 copies of a 6MB file via multi-hop uucp,
- and our disks didn't have anywhere near 600MB of space. Would it be OK
- if uucp gave uux the -C option only if uucp was itself given the -C
- option?

- P.S. has there been any work toward implementing a sort of
- multicasting, in which a single uucp command line can specify that a
- file should be copied to multiple destinations? In the above case,
- virtually all the 100 copies were being sent to the same "host1", and it
- would be a win to just send the 6MB once and then have host1 execute a
- uucp command to send to the 100 destinations.
