this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you have no idea what you are
talking about.

HDB uucp is property of AT&T Unix Systems Labs. and as such  you must be a
source licensee (~$3500 Academic license, $50K-$150K commercial), to have
legitimate access to them.

most other Unix uucp's are also covered under the same conditions.

i believe there is a BSD version coming, but it still has portions of
AT&T code in it, so it is not freely available.

Mr. Stanley, you don't know what you are talking about, and thus it is futile
to debate with you.

so i won't.

[ i may comment, but i will not debate. ]
