I assume that there is no easy way to transmit this as a uuencoded file, because the decoded file cannot be written back to the disk by DOS in the proper way. Does anybody know if there IS a way to do this to save me having to mail all the disks out? I.e. a way that does not require me to write a special version of uudecode and or uuencode? Any nifty ideas or should I start either writing the program or mailing the disks? -John Sangster, jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa
