Greetings. I really like the idea of passing around binaries (with the sources of course, no trojans or logic bombs please!) using UUENCODE and UUDECODE, and I can hardly wait to start using them on things like crunch12, but there's this problem... uudecode.com is uuencoded, and I don't have Pascal. With the help of my friendly (and incredibly patient) system mangler, I managed to find an ARChived CP/M uudecode.com, but I don't have a CP/M ARC program. Well, a little more searching turned up a program DEARC.LBR, but I don't have a library utility. All I need now is a library utility that's uuencoded, and I can close the loop! :+) Actually, I did manage to find a SWEEP utility that runs on a VAX, but the uudecode.com file it builds (by the time I get it shipped home via Kermit) doesn't work at all, and a quick disassembly of the code leads me to believe there's a bug somewhere, it don't look like code to me! A quick look at the Pascal code makes the process of uudecoding look fairly easy, but if someone has already written an assembly routine (or Basic, I'm not that proud) that I could use on my copy of uudecode.uue, I could bootstrap this whole thing... Many thanks as usual for any and all assistance!
