So print it out.  That is why we provided it.

Sure.  What do you expect, you *are* upgrading your uucp stuff.  It *should*
wipe out the old stuff.  It has a conversion script which converts the
old L.sys and L.devices files into the HDB versions; it replaces uucico
and friends because it *is* a new version!

You *did* do a backup first, didn't you? :-)

The version we are shipping now does not have any of these problems - I know
because I checked.  There may have been other versions, I don't know (and
can't say) about them.  If yours has problems, call Tech Support, please.
We will help, I promise.

And I looked into it (see above). I also sent you replies with all this
info in them.  Since it seems you didn't get it, would you please
call me.  Thanks.

I don't.

PS, to ALL

  If you send me email, please include a phone number and (if appropriate)
your address.  I can't do much to help if all my replies bounce because
of email problems...
