I got the compiled version of uuencode from comp.binaries.apple2 and I can't seem to get it to work. It's doing strange things, for example. When you type the "root" (I think that's what it says) It says that the file already exists when it doesn't, and it runs normally when the file already exists. Also, it creates bad files of one block in size. They look like text files, but have bad perameters. One last thing. It gives a very quick (less than 1/2 a second) error message and exits. Is anyone else having trouble with the program, or am I doing something wrong? Chris -- Apple II forever!

I couldn't even get it un-binscii'd...binscii told me there was a CRC error... but, I went ahead and tried to unpack it with GS Shrinkit... which also told me there was a CRC error. So, I went ahead and tried to execute it... and the system crashed into the monitor. | ProLine: bill@pro-gateway |Internet: bill@pro-gateway.cts.com | UUCP: crash!pro-gateway!bill | ARPA: crash!pro-gateway!bill@nosc.mil | BITNET: bill%pro-gateway.cts.com@nosc.mil +----------"Maturity is overrated" - Garfield-------->Pro-Gateway 214/644-5113

Uh boy, let me go into my source and see what went wrong.
Sounds like Binscii screwed for a couple people.
Hmmmmm.
