I got UUD from the terminator archive i beleive. I save messages
from the net in the form 'nethck30.uag', just like it says on the
begin line. I then say uud nethck30.uaa and uud does the rest! No
file editing or anything, it just works. I suggest you try it.
The uud documentation says it looks for a file in the current
directory with the name that is in the include line. You don't
have to do anything special.

Good luck
