Greetings:

I will shortly be without direct telnet access to the Internet or
Usenet and am searching for utilities I can use to easily unsplit and
decode binary ftp mail (ie:from ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com) on my 80386
under msdos.

If you know where I can obtain utilities like these for msdos,
please let me know.

Sincerely,


Jonathan Higbee

  I think Richard Mark's UUDECODE is the most friendly one, and it can
process the parts from ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com (and anything else which
just remotely resembles a UUENCODEd file :-)) just fine. This UUDECODE
(and UUENCODE) can be found on most archive sites. I think the newest
version was just uploaded to SIMTEL and/or garbo (see comp.archives.msdos.*).

  People without FTP access (you have it still for some time) can get a
basic UUDECODEr (for MS-DOS) in the comp.binaries.ibm.pc Starter Kit and
use it to get The Real Thing (i.e. Richard Mark's one).

  Richard, Sorry for mutilating your last name. I can never get the
apostrophe in the right place. I think the rules are different for
English and Dutch, but since I do not know the Dutch rules either ...  :-)
