Periodically I see sources for lot of nice utilities
in this newsgroup . They are all "UUENCODED". From
what I understand is that after downloading the file
I have to run UUDECODE on them. Well I do not have
that program. I do have a C compiler so if somebody
could send me a source for this utiliteis, I would
be all set right?
Thank you.

In case anyone is interested;
after using the standard UUDECODE.PAS that I got from SIMTEL20, I rewrote
it to speed things up as I was dowloading lots of nice stuff and it was
taking me ages to uudecode it all. Result: my version is about 4-5 times
faster than the original. The price one pays for this speedup is that is
no longer portable and depends on MS-DOS but is that kind of a standard ?
(horrible though it may be)
Just send me a note if you want a copy....
[btw: I also improved UUENCODE]
