It appears that ESIX System V r3.2 supports graded uucp. I believe this would permit me to do things like permit mail to be transferred at any time, but restrict news to be transferred at night. However, the manual (that I have) says nothing about what sort of setup needs to be done in the Systems file (or whereever the changes need to be). Could someone please mail me a short description of how to do this? I will summarize to the net if appropriate. Thanks in advance. Adrian Miranda uunet!clark!ade

Ok, so when will it be available to the rest of us? It's curious that uux, uucp, et.al support it, while uucico doesn't know what to do. Can you say "half-baked"? I'm cross posting this to the i386 and Xenix newsgroups, as it is of interest I am sure to those people as well.

>Ok, so when will it be available to the rest of us? Beats the hell out of me. It'll be available to the rest of you when the supplier of your UNIX asks Peter for his changes, and folds them into your UUCP. I think Pyramid, for example, has already done it. I can't speak for any such suppliers other than Sun (and, presumably, others offering SunOS on their machines). I certainly can't speak for AT&T.... >It's curious that uux, uucp, et.al support it, while uucico doesn't know >what to do. Can you say "half-baked"? The original grading, all the way back in V7, merely acted as a way to cause certain "uucp" jobs (no, "uux" didn't originally support it!) to be transmitted before others within a given session. Allowing jobs below a certain grade not to be transmitted at all except at certain times is a relatively recent addition. >I'm cross posting this to the i386 and Xenix newsgroups, No, you didn't - at least as it arrived here, "comp.unix.xenix" was absent from the "Newsgroups:" line.
