I have been able to decode most of the recent uuencoded
postings- ARC, ARC Lite, Mandlxbox, Clock, Tbug, the Arc shell,EMacs7.1-
without too much difficulty even though I am on an IBM machine,
a 3084 Q, on bitnet. The only exception was Uniterm. However
there were hardware incompatibilities, perhaps there is a
hardware problem with the latest version of Uniterm - only works
with a hard disk, or with Simon Poole's latest setup.
I have two 1040's one with color monitor, one black and white.
Arc Lite only runs with the color monitor, it hangs with the black
and white one. Mandlxbox only works for me if I first load a
512K ram disk, its bombs on my 1040 with the full 1 meg of memory
available. Uniterm bombs as described by others; however the
keyedit program works fine and I see no unusual distribution of
characters in the UUencoded files.
In a check of the WISCVM gateway last summer (made by D. Moews)
UUencoded files passed OK from Arpanet to Bitnet and from Bitnet to
Arpanet. Why then does Keyedit work and not Uniterm?
By the way the spaces in the uucoded emacs and the arc shell
were X'79's instead of x'40's I had to convert them for my version
of UUdecode. P. Moews
