Hello,
there is an even better way to concatenate the parts of an uuencoded file:
In the ATARI-ST world ( I use one as terminal ) there is the
'DUMAS-UUENCODE/DECODE-Package which does:
- while uuencoding splitting the file in parts named .uaa, .uab ...
and inserting appropriate sequencing commands into the files
- while uuendcoding creates line-termination characters to avoid skipping
of trailing blanks, and these characters do also a sequence checking,
so get aware of missing lines.
The decode part uses all these features, replaces ` by blanks etc.
I do not have sources of this program, I also do not yet have a PC,
but will get several for education when the university gets funding.
So I do now only collect the software from the net and get angry when
I have not only to uudecode and unarc, but also to unshar on my atari,
which does not support the concatenating of files.
Could please somebody try to get the Dumas-Package and to bring it first
to the PC and then to us all ?
