The Reeds paper mentions that Robert Morris rewrote UUCP.
Did that ever see the light of day anywhere? V9? V10?
Just wondering.

He described the work in CSTR 111, which is unfortunately not in the
TUHS archive.

I don't believe so.

OK, I scanned it and sent it to Warren for the archive. The quality's not
that great, so let's see if rtm can provide a higher-quality PDF.

That was an important motivating factor, but Mike also had an
unerring anticipatory sense of public "need". Thus his programs
spread like wildfire despite their bugs. UUCP itself is the premier
example. Its popularity impelled its inclusion in v7 despite its
woeful disregard for security.

Not I.
