I frequently hear of something referred to as "a (Microsoft) Word {document,file}". They are a bag of mail / news / remote commands / file transfers that are used by UUCP.

I was hoping that someone has some sort of authoritative information as to why they were called "bag". -- Grant. . . . unix || die -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
