[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] NETDATA & UUENCODE

GBODSO1@NUSVM.BITNET (HC Eng) (03/10/91)

I don't know whether this is the right place to pose the following questions.
If not, would some kind soul please advice otherwise.

What is UUENCODE?  What is NETDATA format?  I am a user of BITNET.  I dial
up to a VM host from a PC.  These two terms have stumped me when I try to
FTP files, binary & ASCII, on SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL to my PC.  I understand that
it has something to do with my VM host being an EBCDIC machine and also not
capable of receiving 8 bit data.

Thanks.
