I too am having problems with trying to UUDECODE the file UUCODE.UUE with
UUDECODE.BAS, both from UH-INFO@UHUPVM1.  I am using a 1040stf with the "USA
ST Language Disk".  I get checksum warning from ARCX.TPP when I use it on
the output of UUDECODE.BAS.  The source has comments on it about a bug in
the earlier version of ST Basic.  I reads the first line of the input file
twice.  I have removed the extra read (line 130), but it still doesn't work
right.

I wonder if Chris or some kind soul out there would send me a corrected
version of UUDECODE.BAS for the newer units.  I was told mine has the
mega roms in it.  Without a manual for ST Basic, it's a little difficult
to debug the program. (Note that Atari no longer includes ST Basic manual
with the computer.)

Thanks in advance.
