Ah, closure. It was, as I recall, around 1990 or 1991 that the company I helped found, "UUPlus" got UUNet's dander in an uproar over our name. UUNet thought that they owned all trademarks with "UU" in them. We were, of course, a company that made UUCP software for PCs, so the name made sense, as I saw it. Again, as I recall, UUNet gave up after about 3 months and $30,000 in legal fees. Does this put the nail in the coffin for all things (and references) UUCP, I wonder? -- Christopher Ambler CTO, Image Online Design, Inc.
