When I do: cd /tmp echo Test > zzz uucp zzz cursci\!zzz it queues a request to copy my /tmp/zzz to cursci's /tmp/zzz - is this the expected behaviour? I don't see why it's putting my default current directory on the *output* file on another system. The reason it's a problem for me is that the remote system is a DOS box running UUPC and what I really want to do is: uucp zzz cursci\!p:/some/dir/zzz i.e. write the output at cursci to a file which isn't on the default drive. (I've worked out the uupc runes to allow this I think - PUBDIR=/ PUBDIR=p:/ in the permissn file) How do I pass the output file name p:something without it having either my local current dir prepended, or the remote pub dir? Thanks Graham
