Hello,
Is there anybody out there who can help me downloading some encrypted (*.arc)
files from the net ?
As I am a beginner in doing this I don't know how to use the uude(en)code
version I have on my PC. I even doubt that I have the right version. It
goes :
Usage : uudecode file (mail | uudecode file)
whenever I try to start it without any parameters, and it drops dead
- I suppose it reads the keyboard and echoes it back to the screen -
when I start it with a filename as a parameter (this file will be
overwritten with a blank file).
Now, the trouble is that I don't know where I got this uudecode from,
and I can't download another uudecode that is scrambled. So, could
anyone send me (or rather post it to the net) a version of uude(en)code
with some information of how to use it ? If anyone has the sources
of uude(en)code, I would be very pleased to receive them.
Thanks.
Dirk.

Have you tried your version of uudecode with redirection? SOmething like:
uudecode <sourcefilename {>destinationfilename}
The destination file name should not be necessary since it is encoded
in the uuencoded file. Try it and see if it works.
