+README 5.6 85/06/24
+
+This version is based on the "rti uucp" that was on the 4.2BSD tape.
+It contains many additional features and fixes from Usenet,
+Tom Truscott, Guy Harris, Lou Salkind, and many others.
+
+A few new subdirectories have been added. Do a "make mkdirs" to make
+sure that you have all of them.
+
+I recommend that you change the uucp mail handler in your sendmail.cf
+to something like:
+
+ # Muucp, P=/usr/bin/uux, F=sDFMhuU, S=13, R=23, M=100000,
+ # A=uux - -r $h!rmail ($u)
+ Muucp, P=/usr/bin/uux, F=sDFMmhuU, S=13, R=23, M=100000,
+ A=uux - -r -z -a$g -gC $h!rmail ($u)
+
+The -a$g provides a return address in case mail fails (So It
+won't go to yourmachine!uucp anymore.) The -gC specifies a grade
+for mail. C is a good choice for mail. News should run at 'd'. This
+way, mail gets sent before news. The 'm' flag specifies that this
+mail can send to multiple addresses, which uux can.
+
+The man pages now describe all the options for the various commands.
+Make sure you read them. A list of the functional differences is in "Changes".
+
+You should also look through the UUAIDS directory. There are some useful
+programs and hints therein.
+
+The maximum length of a site name has been changed from the old 7 to the
+14. This is the be compatible with the HoneyDanBer uucp (aka BNU 1) which
+is as close to a standard uucp as there is. Sites which have sitenames
+longer than 7 characters that only send you the first 7 characters are
+broken and should be fixed. However, there is a way of compensating for
+this until they fix their problem. For each site you talk to that has a
+name longer that 7 characters, put a line in /usr/lib/uucp/L.aliases of
+the form:
+ fullname name-truncated-to-7-characters.
+E.g:
+ tektronix tektron
+ lbl-csam lbl-csa
+ rochester rochest
+ ut-sally ut-sall
+(See UUAIDS/L.aliases for more details on aliasing uucp names.) If the site
+name is <= 7 characters, you don't have to do anything.
