There is a program floating around somewhere in net-land that will allow
you to download the .uue file to your pc and then uudecode it into a
working file.  Our pyramid system here only supports 7 bit file transfers
so it has been a Godsend for me.  You may be able to find it on the
comp.binaries.ibmpc group.  If not, drop me a line and I'll mail it to
you.  It also includes a routine to uuencode a file before uploading to a
system.
