No, this is not another query for it. I went and wrote uuencode and uudecode in assembly for the //. Started out as a small project with the guts translated from the c source (take a group of 3 characters and encode them into 4; take 4 encoded characters and decode them into 3, and of course there's really no other way to do it), but once I got all the file stuff and a menu in there and some other options, it got to be relatively long (around 1300 line source). A2-central has shown some interest in it but if I sell it to them I will have to keep a lid on it for a couple of months. But I think the net would benefit from it more if I uploaded it right now. Is there immediate interest out there? I would certainly not require payment for it (for the same reasons as binscii and shrinkit are free), but of course donations would be accepted. If I sold it to a2-central of course I would make some money up-front but the problem still remains that it would be a while before I could distribute it for free. So, I guess, take this as an informal survey. Would you like to see uuencode/uudecode for the // that runs as a sys file, standalone? Would it pain you greatly to wait about 3 months for it? I am starting to write up docs for it, and I will send them to anyone who wants more information. They will detail current and planned features. reply by e-mail to art100@psuvm.psu.edu.

Dear friend, I'm quite interested, being IIGS user (with PCT) and being an co-sysop on a BBS for translators which is UUCP-compatible. Christoph Bouthillier Postbus 9264 3506 GG Utrecht The Netherlands phone +31-30-627487, fax ...627185 thanx!
