* * * * * * This is NOT a flame, just a plea for help. * * * * * * To all Netters: About a month ago, I posted a request for the uuencode/uudecode and arc programs. So far I have heard nothing. Many programs are posted in a form that I cannot use. Some of these sound great and I think that I would like to have them. But, I cannot do anything with them without help. I am the system administrator for a UNIX system running 5.2.4. I also have an AT&T PC6300. What I need are the programs and the instructions to take a downloaded program from the encrypted form and get it into a form that the PC will understand. I currently have a program that will transfer data from my UNIX system to the PC and ARC 5.1 on the PC. I must need a different ARC program, because the files that are posted as ARC files are not readable by the PC. Do I need ARC on the UNIX side? Are uuencode/uudecode run on UNIX or on the PC or both? Can anyone out there help me? -- ____ _______ _____ _______ ------- Clancy Malloy / __ \ |__ __| / _ \ |__ __| -====------ Unix System Administrator | (__) | | | \ \ \_\ | | -======------ ...!ixlpe!freak | __ | | | / \ __ | | --====------- IX 1J-146 x0453 | | | | | | | (\ / / | | ----------- AT&T Bell Labs |_| |_| |_| \_____/ |_| ------- Naperville, IL

Mark Horton, the author, has sent me a copy to be published in mod.sources; it will go out in a week or so. Further questions should probably go to me directly, follow-ups to net.sources.d. -- ---- Rich $alz {mit-eddie, ihnp4, wjh12, cca, cbosgd, seismo}!mirror!rs Mirror Systems 2067 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02140 Telephone: 617-661-0777 "Hi, mom!"
