For your information:
There IS a full document describing the g protocol in one of the
unix archives. 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 at ora.com for info on all the O'Reilly
and Associates UNIX help books.
Good luck,
-Rob
