XENIX in its various flavors, versions and incantations has more kinds
of UUCP than Carter has little pills.  I have forgotten the details,
but starting with XENIX 2.2.? or 2.3.1, SCO began shipping HDB UUCP.
Somewhere in there, uugetty became a "compatibility only" program, with
getty supporting in/out and lock files with no further requirement.

A XENIX without uugetty sounds like XENIX System III or some earlier
product with Version 2 UUCP.  I thought uugetty had been around for
a long time (I saw it in SCO 2.0.6, I foggily remember). This certainly is
a lot of uninformed babble when I am only sure of my first sentence :-).
