   I was playing with HoneyDanBer UUCP and discovered uux -g grade will
   not generate a C. with the given grade. Upon reading the source code,
   I found that HDB uucp will only generate a X. filename with the given grade,
   and only for local X.'s.  The C. and D. created all got the same grade, C for
   the C.'s and D for the D.'s. 

   The At&T man pages states that the -g option will "cause the job
   to be trasnsmitted earlier during a particular conversation". But
   since all C. and D.'s are created with an equal grade, the -g option
   is render useless. 

   Shouldn't the C. and D. also be created with the given grade ?

You must have a thoroughly broken version of HDB, perhaps your UNIX
supplier will respond to rude words? Job grades work perfectly, at
least in my version which I realize is several revision levels above
versions out there in the real world.

Reminder, the job grade is the first letter of the filename *after*
the C. and first 5 letters of the remote sitename, so that the uucp
job referenced by C.mtuneO42d2 has a job grade of 'O', which in turn
means that it will be processed after all the 'A's, 'B's, ... and 'N's,
but before the 'P's, ... and 'Z's.

Here is a typescript of my output. 

Script started on Tue Sep 22 08:59:01 1987

The following is a grep of uux.c, listing all occcurences of gename:


	gename(CMDPRE, xsys, 'C', cfile);
	gename(DATAPRE, xsys, 'X', rxfile);
		gename(DATAPRE, Myname, 'B', dfile);
			gename(DATAPRE, xsys, 'A', dfile);
				gename(CMDPRE, syspart, 'R', tfile);
			gename(DATAPRE, syspart, 'R', dfile);
				gename(CMDPRE, syspart, 'R', tfile);
			gename(DATAPRE, syspart, 'R', dfile);
			gename(XQTPRE, Myname, _Grade, t2file);

Execept fot the last line, none of the gename calls were passed with the
grade (_Grade ) My version is a V.2.1 version, the sccsid is 1.10. Am I
using an old version ?

dennis,

for some reason, you have a very old version of uux.c.
fortunately, you have source code.  in each of the three
calls to gename(CMDPRE, ...), change the grade part (the
third parameter, counting from 1) to _Grade.

this was fixed a long time ago.  in particular, it's fixed
in the code at&t shipped with svr3.
