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.
