  Wow, I'm aparently a uu*code expert!  Anyway, the last line bit is
_not_ a bug, its supposed to do that.  Without getting into the gory
uuencoding details, the first character of each line is the number of
output bytes to make from that line.  Normally, this is 45.  If you add
32 to 45 to make it a printable character, you get 77 or 'M'.  Usually,
only the last line has less than 45 chars in it.  In that case, you will
get a line that looks shorter and has a letter other than M at the
front. That's perfectly correct.
  You'll also note that the second to last line of the file is always a
space (sometimes followed by a file char).  If you subtract 32 from
this, you'll get zero.  This indicates the end of the encoded stuff and
that zero bytes are to but written from this line.
  So take heart, uuencode is working correctly.  
 
  PS: I have a working UU(EN DE)CODE for VMS as well as XMODEM if anyone
is interested (I know I was).  I'm still looking for a .ARC file
extractor for VMS.
