>IIRC #2 there's a utility built into the Mac OS that'll decode UUencoded >files (well, it's not so much IIRC as I'm fairly sure ;). Curiosity got to me and I did a man uu* ;) NAME uuencode, uudecode - encode/decode a binary file SYNOPSIS uuencode [-m] [-o output_file] [file] name uudecode [-cips] [file ...] uudecode [-i] -o output_file [file] DESCRIPTION The uuencode and uudecode utilities are used to transmit binary files over transmission mediums that do not support other than simple ASCII data. The uuencode utility reads file (or by default the standard input) and writes an encoded version to the standard output, or output_file if one has been specified. The encoding uses only printing ASCII characters and includes the mode of the file and the operand name for use by uudecode. The uudecode utility transforms uuencoded files (or by default, the stan- dard input) into the original form. The resulting file is named either name or (depending on options passed to uudecode) output_file and will have the mode of the original file except that setuid and execute bits are not retained. The uudecode utility ignores any leading and trailing lines. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.msn.com%2f%3fpage%3dmisc%2fspecialoffers%26pgmarket%3den-ca _________________________________________________ For information concerning the MUGLO List just click on http://muglo.on.ca/pages/members.html#Joinmuglo Don't forget to periodically check our web site at: http://muglo.on.ca/
