Many moons ago, back in June sometime, I wrote a Z-80 assembly version of UUDECODE, and have been trying to get it to SIMTEL20 since then, but I seem to be having trouble getting mail to Kieth Petersen, so I thought I'd give one more shot at posting it to the entire net. Send me mail if you would like an encoded (HEX or UU) copy of the executable by return mail, and send me an 8 inch disk and return postage if you want the whole library with sources and such. The code was written with the SLR tools, so if your favorite assembler can't handle 16 character names and such you may need to hack the sources. The program runs 7 times as fast as the PASCAL version on my S-100 machine, but I have a hard disk cache so I wrote the disk I/O routines simply, and the program only runs at 50 percent of the speed of the PASCAL program on my floppies. I would guesstimate that the program will run about 10 times the speed of the PASCAL version on a RAM disk, though I haven't tried it. Your milage may vary. I know there was some interest in this back in June, but I haven't been able to get anyone's attention, so I thought I'd post one final notice to the entire net. If there's any interest, I can Email the binary or Snailmail the sources on an 8 inch 3740 disk (TPTB will have my head if I start mailing multiple copies of the source libary through our gateway....)
