        !            12: The
        !            13: .I uucp
        !            14: command copies files between systems.  Each
        !            15: .I file
        !            16: argument is either a pathname on the local machine or is of the form
        !            17: .IP
        !            18: system!path
        !            19: .LP
        !            20: which is interpreted as being on a remote system.
        !            21: In the first form, the contents of the first file are copied to the
        !            22: second.  In the second form, each source file is copied into the
        !            23: destination directory.
        !            24: 
        !            25: A file be transferred to or from
        !            26: .I system2
        !            27: via
        !            28: .I system1
        !            29: by using
        !            30: .IP
        !            31: system1!system2!path.
        !            32: .LP
        !            33: 
        !            34: Any pathname that does not begin with / or ~ will be appended to the
        !            35: current directory (unless the
        !            36: .B \-W
        !            37: option is used); this resulting path will not necessarily exist on a
        !            38: remote system.  A pathname beginning with a simple ~ starts at the
        !            39: UUCP public directory; a pathname beginning with ~name starts at the
        !            40: home directory of the named user.  The ~ is interpreted on the
        !            41: appropriate system.  Note that some shells will interpret a simple ~
        !            42: to the local home directory before
        !            43: .I uucp
        !            44: sees it; to avoid this the ~ must be quoted.
        !            45: 
        !            46: Shell metacharacters ? * [ ] are interpreted on the appropriate
        !            47: system, assuming they are quoted to prevent the shell from
        !            48: interpreting them first.
        !            49: 
        !            50: The copy does not take place immediately, but is queued up for the
        !            51: .I uucico
        !            52: (8) daemon; the daemon is started immediately unless the 
        !            53: .B \-r
        !            54: switch is given.  In any case, the next time the remote system is called the
        !            55: file(s) will be copied.
        !            56: .SH OPTIONS

        !            81: are executed first.  Grades run 0 ... 9 A ... Z a ... z from high to

        !           125: config, spooldir, execute, incoming, outgoing.  Only abnormal, config,
