Subject: [TUHS] UUCP "bag" files
Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 10:10:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAC0cEp8QS8K56YL3o2f9LLXWdSws0J_UMUD38bUZ-3i=JZF5YQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I asked Dave Nowitz, one of the authors of HoneyDanBer UUCP (the others
being Peter Honeyman and Brian Redman) if he knew what bag files were. He
said

Never heard of bag files.
Maybe whoever wrote the linux version did it?
