Klaus, thank you for your message suggesting a change in
uuencode/uudecode because of possible problems sending some
characters through BITNET.

Before you do this, please make some tests with me to see if the
regular uuencoded files will pass through without error.  I have just
received a netmailed uuencoded LBR file from another BITNET user who
wanted to submit a new program to our CP/M archives.  He used my CRCK
program to provide a CRC value for me to check against after
uudecoding.  It matched perfectly.
