I use it every day. FYI, UUCP is also required by POSIX 1003.1-2003 http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/utilities/uucp.html It's part of the [XSI] subset, which is required for compliance with the Single UNIX Specification. If FreeBSD wants certification someday, it will have to bring back UUCP. -- Terry
