Some UUENCODEd files seem to be corrupted by losing any spaces at the end of a
line. Spaces in the middle of a line are ok.
Does anyone have (MSDOS) software that will recover these files by adding space
characters to the end of any line shorter than 60 characters in length?
Thanks

You might try taking a look at /pc/ts/tsfcom23.arc. It includes a utility that can pad the lines of a text file in several ways. Whether it will solve your original dilemma, I am not quite sure, but give it a try. ...................................................................

How about the following (if you have sed, awk, perl or something similar): # add some spaces to the end of every line sed 's/$/ /' file.uue | uudecode or awk '{ print $0 " " }' file.uue | uudecode -- Andy Toy <andy@mks.com> UUCP: ...!uunet!watmath!mks!andy Technical Support <support@mks.com> Phone: +1-519-884-2270 Mortice Kern Systems Inc. <inquiry@mks.com> Phone: +1-519-884-2251 35 King Street North, Waterloo, Ontario N2J 2W9, CANADA Fax: +1-519-884-8861
