I am trying to mail an executable file. I am in a Unix environment, and
the other side is working with DOS. How can I transfer the file?
I was thinking about uuencode/uudecode, but they don't have that program
at the other end.
Is there another prog available that supplies an ASCII conversion, or sth.,
so that we can mail a binary file??

Thanks in advance!!
