I need a tutorial on how uuencode and uudecode work. I know the basic idea:
take a binary file and encode it to printable ASCII so that it can be mailed
or whatever. After receipt, decode the file back to binary. (I'm quite 
familiar with how this works with .boo files for MS-Kermit.) 

What I need to know is: do uuencode and uudecode only work in a Unix 
environment, or has some kind soul written a versions that runs under MS-DOS? I 
do have access to Unix machines, but none of them have uuencode or uudecode 
installed. Even if they did, it would require the extra steps of transferring 
the uuencoded file from my MS-DOS machine to a Unix machine, running uudecode 
on it, and then transferring the uudecoded file to my MS-DOS machine. (I 
download files directly to my MS-DOS machine.) So, it would sure be great if I 
could uudecode directly under MS-DOS.

I have several uuencoded files that I very much want to decode, so I hope
someone out there can assist me. Also, there are occasions when I would like
to submit binaries in uuencoded form to the net.

Thanks in advance.
