Can someone tell me where I can find a copy of UUD/ENCODE for the VAX/VMS and
the IBM PC? I would like to send a friend a few binary files. Unfortunately,
I can neither use FTP or BITNET's SEND/FILE command. Thanks.

I am a bit disappointed that I have not seen more use of the ABE system that I posted here. ABE will generate uuencoded files and decode them, but it has a lot of advantages over the existing programs. You can handle the files in any order, and with duplicates, so that a person can just say dabe mailbox ; or dabe groupdir/* And expect the files to come out reliably, CRC'd and all. Plus if you use the ABE format instead of uuencode, it's smaller and text strings are readable in the encoding. -- Brad Templeton, ClariNet Communications Corp. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473

For those of you who sent me a copy of UUENCODE or UUDECODE, thanks.
Unfortunately, these programs have been sent in UUENCODE format. Since I don't
have it initially, I'm back to square one.

Santanu, Here is some stuff that was posted earlier to "comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d". It can apparently be used for bootstrapping UUENCODE and XXDECODE on a PC (I don't know why they say "XXDECODE" instead of "UUDECODE"). I have never used the stuff because I had a UNIX system available to do my bootstrapping. If this does not work then let me know and indicate which format you *can* accept (i.e. LHARC, ZOO, etc.). I also have some very small C *source* (from UNIX) for a UUDECODE clone that probably will work on any C system (but again: not tested).

Using MAKEBAS from PC Magazine I produced Basic source files which can be sent by mail to enable the recipient to produce David Kirschbaum's UUD19.COM and XXD.COM. The recipient can then decode any encoded binary files he or she receives, including TOADUU19.ARC and TOADXX10.ARC which contain these binaries. Erich --- Thanks, Erich! UUD19.BAS and XXD.BAS have been added to the SIMTEL20 archives in directory PD1:<MSDOS.STARTER>. This is an excellent way for bootstrapping uudecode and xxdecode since most MSDOS users have GWBASIC or BASICA. The program source includes a checksum at the end of each line in order to assure error-free creation of the COM file. It's also a very short program since David Kirschbaum's uudecode and xxdecode are each about 750 bytes in size. I have verified that these Basic programs create UUD19.COM and UUX.COM files which are identical, except for a few bytes of zero padding on the end, to those distributed by the author David Kirschbaum. The padding is probably caused by Basic's insistance of writing even boundry 128 byte binary files. That will not affect the operation of the COM files. --Keith Petersen Maintainer of SIMTEL20's CP/M, MSDOS, and MISC archives Internet: w8sdz@WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil [26.2.0.74] Uucp: {ames,decwrl,harvard,rutgers,ucbvax,uunet}!wsmr-simtel20.army.mil!w8sdz ----------------------------------- cut here ---------------------------------- Subject: Re: UUD19.BAS - Easy bootstrap for fast uudecode program Newsgroups: comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d hpuamsa:comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d / w8sdz@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (Keith Petersen) / 12:04 am Oct 3, 1989 100 REM - BASIC PROGRAM TO CREATE UUD19.COM (a fast uudecoder) 110 CLS:PRINT "Creating UUD19.COM ": OPEN "UUD19.COM " AS #1 LEN = 1 120 FIELD #1, 1 AS A$: CHECKSUM#=0 130 FOR I = 1 TO 47 140 LINESUM#=0: LOCATE 2,3: PRINT "Countdown: " 47 - I ;
