Somebody posted a copy of the source to uu[en,de]code in 'c'. The
copy to uuencode came out fine, but the copy of uudecode seems to have been
truncated. Unfortunately I did not save the header to this wonderful document.
If anybody could send me a good copy of uudecode I would be grateful.
One quick question. A few weeks (months maybe) there were problems with
mailers cutting off blanks at the end of lines and I think that a new version
of the uu??code utilities were created that had a M at the beginning and the
end of the line instead of just the beginning. Could anybody verify this??
p.s. I am not sure where I originally got uu*, so this not may get on some
mailing lists that never say the posting that I am talking about - sorry.
Thankx,

Could anybody verify this?? The Berkeley version of uuen/decode uses ` instead of space. This is a completely compatible modification due to the way the program works which involves a mod by 64. My version adds checksums. Since it is both-ways compatible with the other two versions, everyone should use it... I have e-mailed it to you. -- // Alan J Rosenthal // \\ // flaps@csri.toronto.edu, {seismo!utai or utzoo}!utcsri!flaps, \// flaps@toronto on csnet, flaps at utorgpu on bitnet.
