[comp.sys.apple] uuencode

Writing uuencode/uudecode for the Apple would be helpful, esp. considering
the problems I've had uploading binaries.  It would be nice to be able to
upload a file as text, and then let UNIX convert it to binary w/o worrying
about xmodem adding any garbage to it.

If anyone is interested, I do have the source for atob and btoa (which are
probably the predecessors to the uu programs).  Both are fairly short C
programs (100 lines or so) and wouldn't be too hard to convert.

Side note: I'm still looking for the elusive SHR convert.  Ucbvax has been
acting up, so if someone has it at an ftp-able location, I would appreciate
hearing about it (receiving mail _usually_ works).

Pascal and C source code for MS-DOS versions of both uuencode and uudecode
is available for ftp at SIMTEL-20.ARPA in the directory
pd1:<msdos.starter>. I also have a copy of it, and if anyone wants to try
to hack it to work on the Apple, I can e-mail a copy...
