.Sh BUGS
This command should not exist, since
.Xr uucp
should handle it.
.Pp
All systems along the line must have the
.Nm uusend
command available and allow remote execution of it.
.Pp
Some uucp systems have a bug where binary files cannot be the
input to a
.Xr uux 1
command.  If this bug exists in any system along the line,
the file will show up severely munged.
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
command appeared in
