I have finally gotten around to writing UUDECODE on the local UNIX box.

Question:  the amiga shar files I'm getting spit out a line like

begin 644 name

in front of all UUENCODED files.  I can get around this but was
wondering if someone could e-mail me the official explanation and rules
for this line.  Should my UUENCODE generate one?  Should I strip it
before UUDECODING?

Thank you very much.  This may be a re-post (our machine died and I
never got any response the first time!!!)
