EECS Lines: 9 while i agree with your goals, the removal of dead C., D., and X. files is not a job for the core programs (uucp, uux, uuxqt, and uucico). over a period of years, redman collected hundreds of dead work files on harpo and wrote a shell script, which he called SuperShell, that analyzes and dispenses with them (e.g., giving rnews or rmail their orphaned input, and returning ancient mail to its sender). nowitz converted this script into a c program (called uucleanup), and arranged for the "standard" daily daemon in honey danber to invoke it. peter honeyman
