Not too long ago I tried to get a program up to a UNIX machine, but had little
luck due to lack of being able to uuencode the .zoo file. I vaguely remember 
talk in the distant past about a problem with uuencode (approx. Fish58 & 92). 
Does it work or is there a better way available? It seems like I used it like
this: 'uuencode source_file dest_file' or 'uuencode source_file >dest_file' but
after about 5 minutes I would kill it and find a destination file of about 25
bytes. I was getting the impression it was using the terminal for input instead
of the source_file.
					       Thanks, Mike
