For all of you who never seen Dumas uuencode/decode. Here is
a simple shell script which will unpack such multiple-parts
postings. Works on UN*X and should be easily adaptable to MINIX
as well. If you saved files as part.01, part.02,...,part.0n
then use the sript below as follows: uustrip part*
and it will do the rest. Of course you may type all needed
file names explicitely :-)
#!/bin/csh
#
# uustrip - uudecode multiple part postings
# will create a file named x.uue - ensure that you are
# not going to clobber anything important!!!

echo 'processing' $argv[1]
sed -e '/^begin/,$\!d' -e '/^include/,$d' $argv[1] >x.uue
foreach file ($argv[2-$#argv])
echo 'processing' $file
sed -e '1,/^begin/d' -e '/^include/,$d' $file >>x.uue
end
echo 'uudecoding x.uue'
uudecode x.uue
exit
A complaint 'no end' when uudecoding a recent posting by Howard Johnson
was caused by ctrl-M which was hanging from 'end' line (and every
other line as well). File transfer programs are usually stripping that
for you, but this one was apparently forgetful. DIY to restore sanity :-)
- or slightly modify the script above.
