52.Sh BUGS
53This command should not exist, since
54.Xr uucp
55should handle it.
56.Pp
57All systems along the line must have the
58.Nm uusend
59command available and allow remote execution of it.
60.Pp
61Some uucp systems have a bug where binary files cannot be the
62input to a
63.Xr uux 1
64command.  If this bug exists in any system along the line,
65the file will show up severely munged.
66.Sh HISTORY
67The
68.Nm
69command appeared in
70.Bx 4.0 .
