I am trying to take a DOS Wordperfect file and upload it to our
Sun using Procomm and Kermit respectively. Once I have the file
on the Sun I want to mail it to another machine.

My problem seems to be that Wordperfect uses all 8 bits and when
I upload the file to our Sun that uses 7 bits I loose part of my
WP file.  The only way in which I see to solve this problem is
to get a public domain version of uuencode and uudecode for
MS-DOS.  So if anyone has a copy of these programs I would
appreciate them mailing me a copy.

Thanks
