So calling them "uucp bag files" is akin to
calling something an "ed
editor file" because the ed editor was able to update them?
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'm not saying it's correct or not. I'm just saying it's what I
frequently hear them referred to as.
I was hoping that someone has some sort of authoritative information as
to why they were called "bag".
