I'm just new to nn (only installed for one week, version 6.3.8 #64) and have some questions which I cannot solve consulting the manual. 1) A problem concerning the decode option for decoding multiple splitted uuencoded binaries from the appropriate groups. I often take binaries from the Atari group. The last line in splitted articles is the include foo.ua? line, so if the articles are saved in .uaa .uab etc. they can be easily decoded with uud. But I don't want to save the articles, decode should do all the work for me. Unfortunately, decode don't understand the include lines and prints "Could not handle include lines, use uud". Any idea, how to get decode work with the include lines ? 2) How can I change the save-counter variable to get an alphabetic numbering like uaa, uab, etc ? The manual only describes %d for numerical numbering. --Joerg Spilker -- ************************************************************************ * Joerg Spilker Auf der Toeterloeh 31 4790 Paderborn * * E-Mail: spilker@aquila.uni-paderborn.de * ************************************************************************

Since you feed all the parts into the decode function, it could probably just say: Oh, here is an "include xyz.uaa", now I'll skip everything until I meet a "begin xyz.uaa" or whatever an include files starts with. I have not had the time to look into this, but I would think it should be fairly simple to do something like this - maybe YOU could take a look at it ? >2) How can I change the save-counter variable to get an alphabetic > numbering like uaa, uab, etc ? The manual only describes %d for > numerical numbering. In 6.3 you can't. In 6.4, you can do: set save-counter-offset 97 # 'a' set save-counter .ua%c but that will only work for some 26 parts... -- Kim F.
