Yes, uud probably should warn you about that. It's easily tweakable if you
have the source.

What I usually do is save the parts to "part01", "part02", and so on, then
% cat p* >foo
% uud foo
If uud can't find a file of the appropriate name, it continues to scan the
file it's on.
I'll add a warning about this to the binaries intro, though (which should be
coming your way later today.)
