In article <899@philmds.UUCP> I wrote: | [uuencoded file removed...] | |I tried to uudecode and de-arc this stuff, but arc.ttp complains (I'm |using version 5.21): [etc...] Thanks to Dennis Pixton I found the cause of the problem: The preceding table used tildes for carets (~ instead of ^). Since neither the Unix uudecode nor my own ST hack of uudecode knows about translation tables, the resulting arc file was corrupt. Replacing ~ by ^ and again uudecoding solved this. Hmm, my uu[de|en]code needs revising... B.T.W. anyone knows of a standard Unix uu[de|en]code (not the Dumas program) that knows about tables? Ultrix's doesn't. Leo.
