For the 27,864th time, and quoting from GNU.how-to-get... |NOTE: Do not request the files to be transferred using a command like | |% uucp osu-cis!~/gnu/emacs/18.55/emacs\* /some/local/directory | |because that won't work. That will queue up a short request via *uux* |to run a uucp command on osu-cis; it will fail for security reasons. (...in response to a fair number of questions, complaints, and an occasional flame regarding various foolish individuals' failed attempts to do exactly this...) We thank you for your support, --Karl
