Am I the only > one having these problems? Maybe! Both arc.ttp (5.21b) and Unix arc sucessfully tested and extracted NULLFILE.ARC for me! Lucky me, I guess! On the other hand, the uuencoded SEL_PROG.ARC that was posted, I was unable to uudecode (Dumas: ST or Unix) or de-arc it. Win a few, lose a few. :-) -- Ralph P.

The prepended translate table seems to have been Dumas' creation, though I'm not too sure about that. (I've seen one other non-Dumas version that generated those tables.) But why not just use Dumas' code? I installed it on our Suns. I like the auto-split and include feature, as well. -- / /_ , ,_.

That's just it, why isn't everyone using Jean-Pierre Dumas' UUD and UUE combination. I believe that it was his good idea to use translation tables. Living on BITNET can influence such behavior! I even have UUD running on my Sun and under Ultrix! Now I don't know if I'm allowed to release the Unix(tm) version or not. If someone has more information (or his telephone number) let me know. --ralph -- Ralph P.
