I wonder if anyone else has made this discovery regarding the uucico which
is included in Xenix 3.x? While I was trying to write a "non-standard" L.sys
entry, I discovered that (1.) Attempts to use the hyphen to separate
expect/send pairs are ignored. (2.) Attempts to use backslash to send
non-printing characters are ignored.
I needed to send 5 returns to wake up my remote system, so I wrote:
test Any tty02 9600 tty02 "" \r\r\r\r\r name: uucp
and when uucico was invoked (uucico -r1 -stest), my terminal displayed:
\r\r\r\r\r
Ah yes. The -x debug option is also non-functional.
Comments please!

It says there that the uucp provided with that flavor of Xenix is a V7 port. *No* V7 uucp (that I've ever seen) supports (2.). To get the same effect you can try imbedding ^M's (with vi, use ^V^M) in the expect/send strings. I haven't tried this, though (no need). I never had a problem getting (1.) to work. +--------- | Ah yes. The -x debug option is also non-functional. +--------- Tandy is aware that the -x option is broken. It is corrected in the (soon to be released) 3.2 development system, although the uucp is *still* the V7 one (from the original Xenix 2.3). - paul -- Paul Sutcliffe, Jr. +----------------------+ | THINK ... | UUCP (smart): paul@devon.UUCP | or THWIM | UUCP (dumb): ...rutgers!bpa!vu-vlsi!devon!paul +----------------------+
