ENOUGH! Thanks to all who answered my urgent request for uudecode/uuencode.
Your response was terrific -- fast, helpful and plentiful. As we speak my
mailbox continues to beep with messages on this. Thanks again.
If anyone was wondering why I just didn't sign on to SIMTEL and browse
till I found what I needed I am cursed with either a bad modem or bad phone
lines because whenever I connect from home the connection only lasts for
about 5 minutes before the garbage man arrives. (The connection between
here and work, not between work and SIMTEL). Strange that no such problem
arises when I connect anywhere else. At work they tell me 'no one else has
complained'. Perhaps someone can suggest a group where I can get some help
on this.
Special thanks to Keith for his prompt help on this and for all else
he's done in managing SIMTEL. SIMTEL is a fantastic national resource that
has easily saved my particular program $1000's by making available many
tools that allow my software person to save days in development time.
(It costs my project approx $400/day to pay this person). And I am sure
this savings is due in no small part to Keith's excellent stewardship of
SIMTEL. I know I am preaching to the choir but perhaps one of the
budget cutters may also be listening. It looks to me like a classic case
of 'penney wise, pound foolish'. Thanks for everything, Keith.

Thank God.
