The Turbo BASIC disk turns out to be a boot disk, i.e. it has a "special"
DOS.SYS on it which contains, presumably, the interpreter.  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?
