Please forgive my ignorance, but I am new to this game.  I have made
several attempts to decode uuencoded and arced files in the 
comp.ibm.pc.binaries newsgroup with little success.  I have tried two
PC based version off uudecode (one from the UNIX COMMUNICATIONS book)
and the other from Polytron PC shell (I have no version of UNIX that
talks to the net).  After apperent success with the UUDECODE, I have tried
successively dearcing the files with ARC52, NARC, and PKXARC.  None were 
able to accurately create runnable binaries from these files.  Could anyone
help me?  

I can also be reached by phone @215-834-4388
