At 22:30 on August 29, 1984, ucbvax crashed and made a mess of a number of the filesystems, and in particular the /usr/spool/uucp/C. directory was completely destroyed. In the D. directories there are some 500 pieces of UUCP Email and without the matching C. file, there is almost no way of telling where the letter was bound for. After 5 hours of hacking with awk, I was able to recreate C. files for 247 of the 500 jobs. I hope that I did it correctly. However, since that was only half the traffic, I suggest that if you have mailed a letter through ucbvax any time in the last two or three days, and you have not heard back from your correspondent, that you resend the letter. If you have any further problems with mail, contact ucbvax!postmaster. If you have problems with netnews, contact ucbvax!usenet. sorry for the inconvenience, but Murphy got us... Erik E.
