        !            24: .PP
        !            25: Each job has its own subdirectory
        !            26: of the spool directory.  Several files with conventional names
        !            27: appear in this per-job directory, as well as files with
        !            28: generated names containing status information for each remote
        !            29: system in the job.

        !            36: is used in file names containing status information for corresponding
        !            37: remote system, since network names may not be legal file names.
        !            38: The file contains a sequence of lines; each line contains
        !            39: an identifying number, a space, and the corresponding remote system name.
