I am using the book "UNIX Communications" from the Waite Group as a reference for the UUCP software I am running (WAFFLE). I have been able to find a good UUDECODE (and UUENCODE) from another source (UUPC). However, I have seen requests on the net, in other groups, about UUDECODE -- what it does, how to get it, etc. These have usually been immediately following a post of a UUENCODED file. I have, in the past, referred these requestors to the book I mentioned, noting that it has the source for a simple UUDECODE. I recently decided to enter the code for this version, and little was I surprised when it did not work on MS-DOS. I have tried several of the tricks I know to get normal software to run, but this book version of UUDECODE still gives wrong results. I use TC, and have tried many variants of options, memory model, etc. Has anyone gotten this code to run on a PC, and could you pass along the fix? I am most interested in finding what is wrong with this particular source, but wouldn't mind getting a file that could be mailed to people when they ask how to UUDECODE that last post. Thanks. <> "Aneth! That's a charming place!" "You've been to Aneth?" <> "Yes, but not yet." -- The Doctor and Seth, "The Horns of Nimon". >< <> "Sanity check!"
