UUXFER: great program, whoever wrote it and posted it here. Question, though: does there exist a version for the 128? Are there plans to convert it for the 128? If not, could I get ahold of the source- I'd be willing to do the conversion myself. If not the source, then I'd be grateful if someone could point me to a reference on the uuencoding algorithm. Thanks, -Rob Knop rknop@tybalt.caltech.edu

Thanks for the compliment...I wrote it, and I have source, but alas, the program was about a 6 hour hack job, so the source code looks almost identical to the disassembly (except with labels instead of addresses). >So, is there a 128 version? Oh, well, since I have a 128, I could make a 128 version, I guess. I made it for the 64 because more people can use it that way. However, my library of 128 run-time routines isn't as extensive. >If not the source, then I'd be grateful if someone could point me to a >reference on the uuencoding algorithm. Well, the process is really quite simple. Encode 3 bytes at a time, taking 6 bits from each byte and storing them in 4 bytes. Then add $20 to each byte, shifting it into the ASCII range, and you're done. Well, okay it's not exactly that simple, but that's the idea. -- David DeSimone, aka "Fuzzy Fox" on some networks. /!/!
