Sorry for posting this, but someone (I lost his address) emailed me asking for help. The uuencoded files are encoded for a 'smart' uudecoder, so they contain a lot of miscellaneous stuff that ends up incorporated into the resulting *.arc file. Take a look at every part** file. Remove everything above the begin line and then take a look at the end of the file. Remove the include line and everything below it. If the previous part file had an 'include *.ua*' line at the end of it, then remove the 'begin *.ua*' of the part file. Now take all the part files and concatenate them together to create one large file with no blank lines. This file can be uudecoded. Note that some programs like uniterm have more than one arc file. You must create a separate uudecodeable file for each file that is to be extracted. Hope that helps Michael
