Hi. I have a question regarding the `uuencode' methogd I've seen used here to transmit binary files in a text-oriented medium. I wonder if there is anyone out there who can send me the algorithm, or a vanilla C program for this system; I am currently using a simple method of translating each byte to its equivalent hex representation, which results in 100% increase in the size of the file. If Uuencode can do better, I'd be MOST interested in hearing about it!! Since I'm not an Atari ST user (just read this because I'm interested), please mail any responses directly. Thanks, George Madison 7GMADISO@POMONA (BITnet)
