Might I suggest that everyone get UUD and UUE which are 101%
compatible with uudecode and uuencode.  UUE uuencodes and splits the
uuencoded file into a user specifiable number of parts.  UUD
reassembles the parts and uudecodes them.  If your parts don't have
the right names, get uurename (a very simple c program).

UUD/UUE is available from irisa.fr [131.254.2.3] by anonymous ftp.
It's in the directory `Atari_st' under the names uud_uue.src and
uud_uue.arc (for atari enthusiasts).  Don't anybody worry!  It
compiles fine under Unix(tm).  Uud should be version 3.4.

Cheers,
