uupurge - basic information
----------------------------

Uupurge is intended for cleaning up the uucp spooling
directory and moving spool files around. Look in the
files

uupurge.c
argscan.c

for basic information on switches and what it does.

There is a manual page.

uupurge -h 
and 
uupurge

given as commands also serve as reminders on usage.

There are some things that need to be emphasized.

1. This should definitely be a system administrator only
command; that is, probably best owned and executable only
by root. The makefile only make uupurge. It is up to you to
install it.

2. uupurge moves spool files to target directories. It doesn't
make the directories. You should make them before you call it.

3. Again "uupurge -h"   will give some examples of usage. 

4. It probably is not perfect. I would be interested in hearing
of uucp cases that it handles incorrectly or bugs.

5. there is a spare file called "norm_prefix.c" borrowed from
uucp which you might want to substitute for "prefix.c", which
has a strange local modification in it. "Norm_prefix.c" is
"prefix.c" from the v7 uucp distribution.
