Hi, I need help in decoding a file I received. The header of the file looks like this; ;ABE ASCII-Binary-Encoding (by Brad Templeton) ;Use 'sort' and/or 'dabe' to decode T./z$$filecount=1 T.0N##S1000,1000,1000,ABE1 T.1C$$blocking=true T.2Q$$uname=file1.tar.Z T.3f$$os=unix T.4B$$fname=file1.tar.Z T.5h$$owner=uucp T.6v$$date=612606595 T.7r$$perm=33206 T.8s$$size=916053 The rest of the file lines continue with T.xxxxxxxx As the header mentions, you have to use a utiltity called 'dabe' to do it. What is this 'dabe'. I have searched all my archives and can't find anything that will even look at this form of encoded file. Can anyone help. If there is a utility available called 'dabe' could someone please give me a ftp address so that I can get to it. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks, Chris -- | Chris Moustakis ---------------------------------------------------------- | @ | chris@tubbs.UUCP !..ddsw1!olsa99!tabbs!tubbs!chris | | TUBBS | "Those who think they know it all ... | |-----------------| (:-) really annoy those of us who do .
