How do you extract files printed in mail or on the net that begin: begin 644 FILENAME blahblahblah*&($#*&@(#$ end And where would these extraction files be located? Thanks, R. Luebbert mrimages@beach.gal.utexas.edu (UT Medical Branch Galveston)

Using an editor remove everything before 'begin' and after 'end' and type 'uudecode msgfilename'. uudecode is probably on the machine you're using, but is also available for the Amiga (probably a copy on ab20 somewhere). -- Dan Griffin griffin@frith.egr.msu.edu

Files starting with begin <number> <filename> are uuencoded files, you
need uudecode to extract them.

The edit step isn't necessary, unless there's a bogus begin line in the file. uudecode is bright enough to find these things. <mike -- Round about, round about, in a fair ring-a.

Actually, uudecode/encode were made to decode files from mails, so you don't even have to remove lines before 'begin' and after 'end'. What would they be there for, else? +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Cedric BEUST University of Nice | | INET: beust@taloa.unice.fr $whoami | | UUCP: llaor.unice.fr!arkonis!beust god (personal alias) | | -- "To be, or not to be...", | | That is illogical, captain! | | -- Spock | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I've had quite a few people tell me privately and publicly you don't need to edit the file. I guess I assumed that based on 'shar'. Maybe I'll RTFM one of these days. :-) -- Dan Griffin griffin@frith.egr.msu.edu
