You just have to treat multi-hop uucp as if it didn't exist. Sorry. Use compress on the sending end, uuencode, and mail to the recipient. If they don't have compress, mail them the source for it too. (Compress is a PD program 10* as fast as compact that gets like 60% squish.) With luck the compress will cancel the uuencode. [Begin political commentary.] It's a shame that ATT won't let BSD adopt stuff from sysV so this could be made to work. (The problem is all the BSD sites that have pre-sysV licenses. ATT won't let them get sysV derived code.) So much for ATT working to unify the unixverses.
