The Atari 8-bit Uudecode I posted earlier will want to see a file starting with a line "begin nnn filename". Or at any rate it should start with the word "begin" as the first 5 characters. The file should end with (usually) a short line, a line containing just a space in the first position, and finally a line saying just "end" (3 characters followed by a RETURN). You will have to edit the messages received over the net to put each uuencoded program into a separate file with no extraneous characters. Once you are in that state, run Atari BASIC, type ENTER "D:UUDECODE.LST, and RUN. Tell UUDECODE you want to Decode (D) and give it the desired input and output file names, including device specifications. It will do the rest. You may find it convenient to SAVE the uudecode program as UUDECODE.BAS, as .BAS files load much faster than .LST files. -John Sangster / jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa
