Stephen Leicht of the Technical university of Darmstadt has requested information on how to UUENCODE and UUDECODE files. Since I cannot figure out how to send that info to him directly and since many others are probably curious I am posting this info to the net. Here it is: From isrnix!apratt Wed Jan 8 23:52:00 1986 Date: Wed, 8 Jan 86 21:12:31 EST From: Allan Pratt <isrnix!apratt> Received: by isrnix.UUCP; id AA19728; Wed, 8 Jan 86 21:12:31 EST To: iuvax!franco Subject: uuencode Status: R I admit it's a little strange... uuencode is intended for use by mail programs, not by human beings. To encode a file called "foo", type %uuencode foo foo > foo.encoded and it will create a file called foo.encoded on your directory. (You can use any name you want after the >, except the name of your input file). To decode foo.encoded back into foo, type %uudecode foo.encoded and it will create foo. But remember that you have to have uudecode on the destination machine (like your ST) or it won't do much good. -- Allan
