This is my first posting, so please flame me if I sound like an idiot...

I'm having a problem with uudecode and I thought maybe someone out there
in netland might be able to help me with (yep, a dangling preposition).

A friend sent me a bit-mapped image to use as a background for my Sun.
He uuencode'd it and sent it in parts, numbered so I could put them in
the right order.  Well, I stripped off the mail headers, cat'ed them
into a file called "junk" (yes, in the right order), and when I attempt
to uudecode junk, uudecode fails with "No end line."   The resulting
unencoded file is about 37k, but it should be about 128k.   When I 
tail junk, the last line says "end", so I'm not sure what the error
message means.  Has anybody out there encountered this.

Please email your responses.  I will post results if people care...

Thanks very much in advance!
