Recently an issue of Poli-Sci Digest mentioned a file that could
be ftp'ed or uucp'd.  I tried the uucp command suggested in the
Digest, and it failed.  The problem is with uucp'ing from/to sites
we cannot dial directly. Thus,
       uucp foo!/usr/spool/uucppublic/bar my_bar
works fine, but
       uucp sytek!menlo70!ucbvax!/usr/spool/uucppublic/bar my_bar
fails. (This was the command I tried, essentially.  Only the terminal
pathnames are changed).  Is this a general (mis?)feature of uucp?
or do we have an out-of-date version?
