[comp.mail.uucp] UUCP Grades in HDB UUCP

[newsgroup, who's got the newsgroup?]

The one way to be sure whether grading works in your version is to try
graded transfers and see if they get through at the times you expect.
For example, if you have
	downstream Any/Z,Any2301-0659 ACU ...
you can try queuing a grade 'z' job during peak hours:
	$ uucp -r -gz foo downstream!~/
If it gets transmitted before late night hours, then grading doesn't
work in your rev of HDB.

[pedantic mode off]

The bug that peter (as opposed to Peter) speaks of in an earlier
message is that your uucico may still call downstream during the
day, even if the only jobs in the queue have grades lower than 'Z'.
C'est la vie...

Where would the ;<retry_time> go if grading is used?
	Any/Z;<retry_time>
or	Any;<retry_time>/Z

Thanks.
