Hi all,

Hope someone can help a newbie to the Mac Scene.
I am unable to uudecode a file downloaded from the net
I used newswatcher to grab the segs but came with a
error saying it can not find uudecode.
Do I need a plug in or a seperate program.
Thanks in advance.

A very good uu encoder/decode is uucd.

It's available on the info-mac archive in the /cmp/ directory.

Hope this helps;

You might also like to try UULite 

<ftp://hrz-ws26.hrz.uni-kassel.de//pub4/mac/mac.archive.umich.edu/util/c
ompression/uulite2.0.cpt.hqx>.

Or even on info-mac:

cmp/uu-lite-30.hqx

How good is Kassel access these days? I know Demon's European links are
pretty good now, but I confess that I *still* go to South Kensington:

ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk//computers/systems/mac/info-mac

Incidentally, somebody asked me the other day about the sunsite address;
what is it? Is it the same machine as the Imperial src.doc address? Lazy
minds would like to know...

sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk

It certainly looks like it, all seem to resolve to swallow.doc.ic.ac.uk.

ISTR hearing a while ago that the box itself was provided/sponsored
by Sun, but hosted at ic.ac.

mirrors.apple.com or mirror.apple.com is the meta-archive I used to use
for Mac stuff, but access might be a bit slow from here.

Germany, France & Spain I find fine these days, that's why I give such
exotic addresses.  Usually the tightest-compressed one archie.hensa can
find.

Yep.  Now sponsored by Sun, so it shows the sponsor's name.
