UUENCODE FOR A MAC???

There have been a lot of good GIF pictures posted to one of the
ibm pc groups of late.  I want to put them on my Mac II but I have
this problem.

Our connection to the network is a UNIX machine.  Our Mac only has
an ASCII connection to the UNIX machine.  The GIF files were encoded
using uuencode.  I have uuencode for my UNIX system, but if I decode
them there, then I cannot get them to the Mac as they are binary
files.  If I download them to the Mac first, then I cannot decode
them as I don't have uudecode for the Mac.

Does uudecode for the Mac exist?  If so, where can I obtain it?
Is there another way to solve my problem?  Is there a machine on
the network that archives Mac source/binary stuff that is accessible
from a UNIX UUCP connection?  (Is this enough questions or should I
ask a few more 8-)?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
