On the SPCUG, they publish a proper file description for each file, unlike Paul, who writes things like: "another file I don't understand from Frank or someone." Paul has endearing ways, but not very helpful. My reasoning (which proved correct) is that the file itself may not be called UPCsomething.zip, but the file description will contain what it is meant to do: handle UUCP packets. Obviously, to us mice with an IQ better than 100, the name of file name *may* have UPC in it, but the description will *surely* have UCP in it (and it did), or if not if will give you a start to chase funny-named files that seem to be compulsory for unix-wankers. And besides, it stirred Paul really well, which was my main aim. And will again, or my name's not Pauline.
