I may have found a solution to the problems of transferring uuencoded/
uudecoded files to STs.  I had the same problems as others have described
(i.e. transfer the file, run it and get a TOS Error #35) with
the recent Uniterm posting.  I tried both Xmodem and kermit and got the
same result each time.  So I loaded the uuencoded file into EMACS, and
went to the end.  There was an extra line feed and the word 'end' and
a couple of more line feeds.  I deleted everything except the last line
feed on the last line of the file.  This, of course, produced an error
message of 'Short File' when I uudecoded the file.  But I still had
'uniterm.prg' at about the size it should have been (I didn't check
specifically).  I went ahead and transferred the file to my ST and
double clicked on it.  It worked.  Perfectly.  I like it.  Anyway,
try that on some of the files that have been creating problems and see
if it works.  Luck.
