We use compress all the time for sending notes in a compressed format.
Use the following steps:
In ~notes/net.how, add lines like the following:
ccvaxa:x:::(/usr/local/bin/compress|uux - -n -r -gn ccvaxa!"nfcrcv %s %s")
Note the nfcrcv above. Have the recipient site add nfcrcv to their list
of approved UUCP commands. Install it as /usr/bin/nfcrcv. It's a two
line shell script containing the following:
#! /bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/uncompress | /usr/bin/nfrcv $*
Change the pathnames as needed. Be sure the execute mode bits are set.
That should do the trick. The return path usually doesn't need to be
compressed due to the lower volume.
