Chris,
There is no guarantee that I am right, but the UUDECODE.BAS should be run
on a file called UUD.UUE (or something similar). The .BAS file is NOT a complete
working copy, just a temporary one so that you can get the proper version. This
does make sense. If you run the .BAS on the .UUE (ONLY the UUDecode program),
you should then have a valid UUD.TTP file. You can then UUDecode happily.
I think the .BAS file only does a very simple alalgorithm which has no REAL
value outside that of de-encoding the original UUD.TTP file.
I hope this makes sense.
As I am a bit wary of my gateway, PLEASE send a reply specifically to me saying
you received this mail. (Please give the date and times when you received it
and the header ,so I can give a better pathway.)
Have fun.
Gilbert.
P.S. I think what I said is right, but others may know different.

I am using a 1040stf with the "USA ST Language Disk". I get checksum warning from ARCX.TPP when I use it on the output of UUDECODE.BAS. The source has comments on it about a bug in the earlier version of ST Basic. I reads the first line of the input file twice. I have removed the extra read (line 130), but it still doesn't work right. I wonder if Chris or some kind soul out there would send me a corrected version of UUDECODE.BAS for the newer units. I was told mine has the mega roms in it. Without a manual for ST Basic, it's a little difficult to debug the program. (Note that Atari no longer includes ST Basic manual with the computer.) Thanks in advance. MarcelinoBernardo Bitnet: mbernar@erenj
