I have just been given the task to move MSWord 5.0 documents
over bitnet to MacWord 4.0.

1)  I propose to do this by uuencoding the file, chunking it, emailing
    it and uudecoding.  Is this reasonable?  If so, where can I get
    uuencode/uudecode binaries for the Mac (the PC is already equiped).

2)  Any words to the wise or experience with getting Word files to play
    properly between the two?  These files make liberal use of Word's
    features and fonts.

Emailed answers preferred;  if there seems to be any interest I'll
post a summary.

Thank you.

Peter
