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 ?
