Not long after I sent the message about finding grave accents in a uuencoded
file, I found mention of it on another newsgroup.  Hans Breitenlohner
<HANS@UMD5.UMD.EDU> writes in the INFO-ATARI8 group:
>I would like to commend Brad Banko for using trailing characters to avoid
>the problem of having trailing blanks truncated.  Another alternative would
>be to generate '`' instead of blank.  Most new versions of uuencode do this.
Guess that's what you get with user-defined standards:  user-redefined
standards.  So I will change my uudecode to translate grave accents to spaces
and wait for the next ingenious modification of uuencode to show up...
And I still think all EBCDIC machines should be used in artificial reef
building projects.
 
Those looking for ARC source should take a look at the SIMTEL20.ARPA files...
they have all the C source files for it (not sure which version, probably
TOPS-20?)  They are accessible from ARPA and BITNET sites...the directory
is PD:<MISC.T20-ARC>.  The files are listed in PD:<MISC>MISC.CRCLST.
