I would like to know if I can de-zoo files on a Sun UNIX system, and then mail them. I would like to download stuff for use on my amiga, but my actual amiga can't ftp, it can only receive mail, and the mail program I use doesn't like all the special characters in a .zoo file. I would like to de-zoo files, and then mail them to the amiga for actual use. Any hints would be welcome. please send replies to rjlov@ecr.mu.oz.au

You don't want to de-zoo them, they'd still be 8-bit files anyway (unless they were source code.) What you want to do is uuencode them. If you have uucp on your Sun, you should have uuencode. If you have uucp on your Amiga, you should have uudecode. (I noted your request to e-mail, and did, but I'm posting this for anyone else who needs it.) -- * From the disk of: | jms@vanth.uucp | "You know I never knew Jim Shaffer, Jr. | amix.commodore.com!vanth!jms | that it could be so 37 Brook Street | uunet!cbmvax!amix!vanth!jms | strange..."
