        I have had only one other person complain about a bad listing.
        I have checked the original UUE file and it does inded UUDecode
        fine for me.

        My environment is a VAX 8650 running VMS 5.0-2.  The file used
        ZOOed using VAXzoo 2.01 and then uuencoded (sorry don't know the
        version of UUEncode).

        I must admit that I havn't a UN*X mahcine to test this on and I
        also haven't checked to see if I can uudecode it on my Amiga.

        The other person was also haveing problems on a UN*X machine.

        I will repost this to the list if more people request me to.  No
        sense posting this to everybody if only one or two people need it.

        If someone has a better way for me to post this, I'd appreciate it.
