Especially if people are planning on using vintage
machines and vintage
versions of UUCP, names need to be kept to 8 characters or less. At least
that's what I remember.
Nuts. In that case, "floodgap" :-)
If I patented a function that returned the set of all 8 character or fewer
strings, would you all have to pay royalties to me?
Only if you generated the one I was going to take before I did. ;-)
