- From the README.BETA document for alpha release 3:
-
- If you have Dillon's AmigaUUCP you must specify the DOTDIRS keyword
- (i.e. DOTDIRS Yes) in the configuration files and use option -A for
- ArnMaster (see Arn.doc and Arnmaster.doc for details)!!!
-
- It's also commented in the .arnmasterrc file, and in various
- other places.

- Obviously a better solution is to abide by the 'apathy rules'
- law.
