I have had a similar problem with uudecode/encode recently.  As it turned out
I uudecoded a file on a Vax, and on the ST.  But voila the file lengths were
different!  This got me curious since I trust the UNIX version more than the 
ST version I did some checking.  As it turned out the ST version of uudecode
opened the file it was writing in ascii mode, this posed some problems with
traslation of the new-line chars.  Anyway hacking the code for uudecode to
use fopenb instead of fopen and recompiling it fixed the problem!
