Title: UNIX finally useful A new command has been introduced to UNIX. Sources at UNIX Inter- national, Inc. indicated, that the following command will be in- cluded in a future release of the UNIX system (probably SVIR3.1.4-42). NAME uubp -- Unix-to-Unix beer protocol SYNOPSIS uubp [-acefghlqy] site DESCRIPTION Uubp allows the user to transfer beer, ale, or other fermented grain beverages between network sites. Using TCP/IP (telecommuni- cation protocol for imbibing pilsners), uubp encodes beer from a local file system into packets suitable for FTP (fermentation transfer protocol) delivery at a remote IP site. Example: % uubp -c"AMBER" -f0.7 -y0 -q2 198.137.240.100 The preceding example sends two six-packs (-q2) of amber ale (- c"AMBER") with a fizziness quotient of 70%, brewed using yeast of type 0 (saccharomyces cerevisiae) to PI address 198.137.240.100, which is the IP address of the White House. RESTRICTIONS Both source and destination sites must be running uubp-daemon. In addition, local restriction exist in many areas for the transpor- tation alkohol across state lines. The Electronic Frontier Foun- dation is currently involved in litigation to ensure the ability to distribute beer through the uubp protocol according to the 21st Amendment.
