If a binary file was uucoded into several files, say part01 part02 and part03, how do you uudecode? I tried 'cat part01 part02 part03> part', then 'uudecode part'. It gave me error. Thanks. -- ***************************************************************************** Naiming Shen *****************************************************************************

The proper procedure to uudecode something like this is to just give the first filename, uudecode is smart enough to realize that there are more than one file to decode and decodes all the parts and puts all the little parts together to form the final output. Try something like this: uudecode part01 You should end up with the final prog!! You should not have to cat all the files together.
