9A while ago I posted a UUDECODE program, written in Microsoft Basic,
10to net.sources. Judging from the number of replies I had, people
11are finding this useful if they don't have access to the public
12domain UUDECODE, or to a C compiler.
13
14I found one or two problems recently; the main one was that it would
15not create an output file of more than 64K due to an undocumented
16feature of MS-BASIC. Here is a corrected version; as always, I
17suggest you compile it if you want the run time to be finite.

1Here are versions of uuencode and uudecode that will work on an IBM
2PC. There is a version for Turbo Pascal and one for Microsoft C.
3Porting them into other machines, languages or dialects should not
4pose a large problem.

6Sorry about the lack of documentation, but the programs are easy to
7use, so you should not have a problem. I don't know why a UNIX
8site would not have these in the first place, but at least your
9manual should tell you how to use them. If you are not using UNIX
10at all, you have my sympathy.

12The Pascal programs' author is unknown. The C programs were
13provided by Don Kneller.

33The following are the Turbo Pascal source files for uudecode and uuencode,
34modified from the net posting to display the remaining bytes to be processed,
35instead of filling up the screen with periods. It also displays the percentage
36left. See my previous posting to net.micro,net.micro.pc and net.sources for
37details.
