I grabbed the metafont arc files from the binary group when they were posted
and I am having trouble de-arcing them. The metafont arc is broken into
6 pieces of less then 32 K. At the end of the files is the statement
'include metafont.uuX'. I have tried uudecode on unix and on the atari.
I have tried it on the files seperately and I even cat'ed the files
together and tried it. I created one big file and removed all the non
uudecode statements and tried that.
What is the correct procedure to uudecode a set of files that are in parts?
I have a mailbox containing the readnews arc/uudecode messages. What do
I do next?
ALso, I am in a rush to get metafont working. Anyone out there have a place I
can ftp the .arc file from?
And finally, while I have your attention, anyone have source to a program
that will dearc the .arc files from him1 on a unix machine? I have a
unix machine with the .arc files I ftp'ed but some are over 720K. My unix
can write dos floppies so if I get the files under 720 K I don't have to
kermit them to my atari... I can DOSxfer them.
