[comp.unix.misc] Help - need uudecode.

elston@edwards-saftd-2.af.mil (03/08/91)

Help!  Our system here (SVR2.3) did not come with uuencode/uudecode in
the release software.  I have checked more than once to be sure.  There is
no mention of it in the manuals and I do not have any idea how to go about
creating a uudecode (which I need to do).  Is there anyone who could give me
an idea of how to go about getting my hands on some PD source for a suitable
utility?

Thanks in advance.

I received an answer and it works fine.  Thanks to everyone who read and 
replied to my request.

  (I'm posting this to the net as yet another shameless plug for the archie
server; I don't run it or anything, I'm just a very satisfied user who'd like
to see as many people as possible using it instead of posting questions to the
net that it can answer. :-)

  You're on the Internet, so you can find the answer to this for yourself by
logging into the machine "quiche.cs.mcgill.ca" (132.206.2.3 or 132.206.51.1)
as "archie", and typing "prog uuencode" at the prompt.  There are so many
different sites listed that I can't even begin to mention them all.
