Not so! There is (or there used to be) a UUDECODE written in Assembler that takes care of the problem automatically, i. e. by pretending there are spaces up to the full line length. It used to be available at the KERMIT server KERMSRV@CUVMA. I've improved it a little (it now takes a file name from the command line), and it's also faster than most other UUDECODEs I've seen. I haven't posted it, so as not to add to the confusion - there must be at least a dozen different versions out by now. But if you need it desperately, say so (INCLUDING a return path from BITNET), and I'll send it to you. If you want to, you can easily include a routine that changes those tildes back to carats.
