"uudecode" sounds like something in Unix. Where does that leave all the VMS, TSO, VM/CMS folks? If there's a more general, portable, compact alternative to EXECUTIONER 4bit, by all means lets spread it around, but for goodness sakes let's not proliferate a variety of specialty encoding schemes that only work on special systems (having one that only works on an Apple ][ with Interger ROM wouldn't be much worse than a system that only works on Unix host or a IIgs). --------------------- Disclaimer: The "look and feel" of this message is exclusively MINE!
