In regard to the question: why not deARC and uudecode on your CP/M system
instead of on the VAX with the new version of UUDECODE etc?

For my system, we have a VAX 780 from which I download the files to an
XT compatable using UNIFORM on the compatable to write on the disk in a
format that I can read on my computer at home. The process of uudecoding
etc happens to be a couple of hundred times faster on the VAX than my PC!!!
So doing it here saves me a lot of time, not to mention all the extra
ware and tare on my disk drive at home.   It works for me!!!!    Brian.
