It is easy to hack UUD so that you can save all the parts of a posting
and decode them all at one shot. When something big comes along, like
nethack, I just save the parts as nh.01, nh.02, etc., and when the whole
thing is ready I give the command UUD nh.?? to decode the package.
If I don't hear from Dumas in the next few days (it is basically his
code, he should have first crack at modifying it) I will send my version
to Steve Grimm for posting.
