Can someone tell me what's so great about HDB? I keep on seeing it as a program that AT&T won't distribute freely, and I keep on hearing people wish they would, but I don't really know how it's different from/better than vanilla uucp. Someone, please enlighten me. PB Schechter pb@cs.wisc.edu

What I've noticed is different on the Unix-pc about HDB cu, is that the 'put' and 'take' options really work. I don't know to much about the uucp because I haven't used it to often. I'm sure someone else will let you know for sure but my guess is that the stock uucp/cu on the Unix-pc was not a full implementation, whereas HDB was.
