As Thomas David Rivers wrote: > > If anyone cares to re-examine this, I'd be in favor of an HDB approach. The current approach of Taylor UUCP accepting all three config formats seems great to me. Knowing both now (Taylor and HDB), i prefer Taylor. It's not only well-documented, but it's (mostly) much more rational. Well, you really need the _printed_ TeXinfo manual, but on the other hand: without the printed doc, i wouldn't have been able to configure the HDB uucp of our Data General's, too. Taylor config does not only allow for a finer control, it's also less cryptic. Knowing the keywords, you can almost guess the rest. And sometimes, even a ``strings /usr/bin/uucp | more'' can get you help for the keyword spelling... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
