Hello, Eventhough I have extracted stuff from uuencoded archive files before, I haven't had much success with getting stuff out of multi-part postings. I hate to be missing out on all the goodies posted in the recent past. I have tried uudecode and PKXARC commands on individual files as well as a concatenated version of all the parts. Uudecode complains that there is no 'begin' line for the intermediate parts. For those I was able to uudecode somehow, CRC check fails on some files during dearchiving. Could some kind soul e-mail me the right way of dealing with these multi-part articles? Thank you all in advance for your help. Raghu Yadavalli AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, New Jersey

Create a file called "combine" that contains the following: #! /bin/sh cat $* | sed '/^END/,/^BEGIN/d' | uudecode Then just type: combine <file1> <file2> <file3> ...... where file1,2,3,... are the parts of the uuencoded file. You don't have to edit the parts at all before you run 'compile'. -Brian Fancy signature under construction.
