[net.micro.atari16] uuencoded files

There's also one other hassle with uuencoding/uudecoding -
SOME of us don't have uuencode/uudecode programs on our machines.

uuencode/decode is not a hard thing to write, though.  I am working on a
version for the Atari 800xl and it looks as though it won't be difficult.

If anybody wants the definition of uuencode/decode coding, I just happen to
have a "functional spec" and also very compatible "c" source code from a kind
soul on the net.

This sounds really intriguing. Please let me know how the XL uuencode
project works out. Generally I wouldn't expect to need to transfer binaries
for my Atari too often, but I've recently been using ftp to get David
Young's latest products. Getting them down to my Atari from this Unix
machine can sometimes be a challenge....
