I believe G protocol is just g protocol with some of the packet paramaters and window size configurable from a file in /etc/uucp. I believe packet size and window size are what the G protocol lets you specify in a config file. If you post a question about the g protocol document someone may have the archive name and/or mail it to you. File recovery with G is the same a g, they are the same protocol it's just that g's parameters are hardcoded into the binary and G can read them from a UUCP config file. Basically, UUCP deletes the file after it's been successfully transfered and keeps it till it has been sucessfully transfered. You might also check out the UUCP book from O'Reilly and Associates, it has alot of info on UUCP and how to set it up, maintain and use it. Send email to nutts@ora.com for info on all the O'Reilly and Associates UNIX help books.
