After seeing several requests for a UUdecode in some format other than
UUCoded, I thought it might be nice for some wonderful person to put
some source up on the net.  The result follows.

I have compiled the below under Megamax, but not any other compilers.  I
expect that it should go OK on MWC, as well as [garf] Alcyon.

There's another post up here somewhere that has a more current version
of uudecode/uuencode.  I have tried the code below, and while it isn't
the most full featured version of uudecode, it works.

Later.

/*
 * Uudecode -- decode a uuencoded file back to binary form.
 *
 * Useage: (CLI) uudec <uuencoded filename>
 *         (GEM) click on uudec.ttp
 *               enter <uuncoded filename> in dialog box
 *               hit CR
 *
 * Result: File specified in first line of uuencoded file is created,
 *         contents of uuencoded file are decoded and placed into
 *         the created file.
 *
 * How it works:
 *         The bits of every three consecutive bytes of the binary file are
 *         encoded into four consecutive printable ascii bytes according
 *         to the following diagram:
 *
 *               |         |         |         |         |
 *               |x1x2|3456|x7x8|1234|x5x6|7812|x3x4|5678|
 *               -----------------------------------------
 *
 *         where the long vertical bars separate bytes and the short
 *         vertical bars separate half bytes.  The x'ed bits are not
 *         important to us (they are given values which result in
 *         printable ascii characters).  The first eight digits
 *         increasing in order from 1 to 8 mark the positions of the
 *         first byte of the group of three binary bytes.  The next
 *         eight mark the second byte and so on.  Each line of the
 *         encoded file contains a count character followed a number
 *         (multiple of four) of encoded bytes.  To decode we merely
 *         need to go through the usual bit pushing.
 *
 * Problems: Contact J. Franco (franco@indiana.CSNET)
 *
 * Comment: This should work.  I successfully downloded the recently posted
 *          RTXDEMO with no trouble whatsoever (and that is a pretty big
 *          file).
 *
 * Note:    This is the latest of a number of hacks of a uudecoder originally
 *          intended for the IBM PC. (3/6/86 - JVF)
