I've never seen any problems though if you ASCII port to the ST >and then UUDECODE there. I have had no trouble whatsoever uudecoding on either a VAX or Wicat system. Why shouldn't it work? You are only translating codes to bytes. It may be that the version of uudecode doesn't work right. I always uudecode as early in the transfer process as possible to reduce the size of files being transferred (I receive mail on a VAX, uucp to my Wicat, and xmodem to the ST).
