It is *not* written for BDS C. I have been studying it for a bit and have
resolved pretty much everything EXCEPT the "inita/initb,initc" part of
the protocol. It appears that there may be some information exchanged in
this part of the protocol, but there is insufficient information on what
this might be. (It's also possible that this part of the protocol is
bogus). Can any UUCP experts out there enlighten me/us?
