I experienced a problem with the undecode utility.   Marking
several articles comprising a complete file and selecting undecode
highlighted items transfered the marked articles to the undecode window
just fine.  The loading and undecoding and merging process in the undecode window looked as 
though it completed without a problem.

When viewing the decoded jpg file however it was corrupted.  I repeated
the process above as a double check, but the result was the same, a
corrupted file.

I then used the windows WinVn program, which I would dearly love to leave, and downloaded the 
various parts of the same file, and used the UU.com utility to decode the file. The result was 
an uncorrupted and usuable file.

Like you, I had only a limited amount of time to experiment.  I really
like the threading process in NetSuite, and the FTP server was a nice
surprise, but I need a reliable decoding function.
