I realize I should just ask Matt Dillon about this, but there seems
to be a long propgaation delay between he and I, so hopefully someone
closer can answer this.

OK, I am running AmigaUUCP 1.00D downloaded straight from ucbvax the
first day it was up.  Everything seems to be working fine
except for transferring a files between UNIX and amiga when on the
UNIX end.  The problem seems to lie in the fact that I can't figure out the
correct command line syntax for uucp on my UNIX account.

For a prelim, my uulib:Security file on my amiga caontains these 2 lines:
tmp: rw
uupub: rw

Now, ON MY AMIGA I can transfer file to and from the UNIX machine with
no difficulties whatsoever.

On UNIX, no go since the UNIX uucp constructs an invalid (for Amiga)
path, to wit:
% uucp foo sauron\!tmp:foo
sends up a request to transfer /usr/me/foo to /usr/me/tmp:foo on the amiga.
This is bad.
% uucp foo sauron\!/tmp:foo
requests that /usr/me/foo go to /tmp:foo on the amiga.  Also bad.
% uucp foo sauron\!/tmp/foo
doesn't work either.

So - can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong and what the UNIX uucp
syntax should be, or is there no workaround (which I find hard to
believe)?

advTHANKSance!
