Just thought I would pop into the UUD discusion.   My favorite feature of
uud (not uudecode) is that you can save all the parts of a UUEncoded file
from a newsgroup (like say comp.binaries.atari.st) into mailbox form and 
uud that file.  The only catch is the parts must be in order.  So, when a
new program shows up I wait till all the parts are there and save them into
a mailbox and uud the mailbox.  It is so much easier then using various files
or editing the uue stuff into one big file.  

Uud will also decode multiple files in the same saved mailbox file.  So you
could have a file with parts 1-7 of something and parts 1-5 of something
else and decode both of them with on uud.  The only catch is that the files 
must be in the right order.
