I wouldn't say my performance is poor. Sigh. I guess I wasn't clear. The current version (1.1) of DECUS uucp (which is what Terry is running) most definitely DOES do windowing -- that was my big contribution to that release [he said modestly]. The version of gnuucp which I started with was limited to windowsize=1, and its performance was about half of what Terry reports for our code. --- Jamie Hanrahan, Simpact Associates, San Diego CA Chair, VMSnet [DECUS uucp] and Internals Working Groups, DECUS VAX Systems SIG Internet: jeh@simpact.com, or if that fails, jeh@crash.cts.com Uucp: ...{crash,scubed,decwrl}!simpact!jeh
