I'm afraid I got the same results.  All the files came out to be the right
size after splicing and uudecoding.  Uploaded using xmodem.  Uniterm.prg
did two different things: First, it loaded, gave the little beginning menu,
then asked what buffer size I wanted.  No matter which size I chose, it would
promptly bomb.  Second: I rebooted (just in case it was my ST's fault; my RAM
disk has been known to screw up memory), at which point uniterm.prg bombs as
soon as it loads.  Keyedit.prg loads and appears to run, but I don't really 
know how to use it well enough to test it (besides, I think I need Uniterm to
properly test it, no?).

So, did someone get uniterm to work?  Are others having trouble?  I'm mailing
to Simon, just in case he misses this posting.  However, if you do have a
working copy, PLEASE do NOT repost it.  Let the original poster handle this,
so we don't have a repeat of the Hack reposting (where it was properly reposted
and then the next day someone comes along and is 'nice' enough to repost it for
everyone all over again.)

                                Thanks,
                                Maurice T. Franklin
