ok, so i've got this really cool thing called MacLayers. It let's me do multiple windows (a la Sun) on a Mac. i compile it on my friend's CS acct, because the account that i have is only supposed to be used for e-mail and text editing. so it works on his acct.--a Sun3 running SunOS 4.0.3. It's cool, it's neat, it'snifty. But it's not on my account. so i uuencode the binary files that make up MacLayers: layers, layersize, etc... i type: uuencode layers layers > layer.u it creates a text file that begins with "begin ..." and ends with "end". i mail this file to me, like: mail 6600dayl... < layer.u so, i go back to my account, write my "mailed" program to a file, edit out the mail header information... then i type: uudecode layer.u (or whatever i saved it as) and it says: short file and i try and run it, and it says: segmentation fault and the core is dumped, immediately making me exceed my disk quota (yes, these little e-mail/vi accounts only are allowed .5 megs...) so...ANY ideas??? --Darryl
