If the ftp server that you are using is bitftp@pucc, then send a note to
MAINT@pucc describing you troubles. Also check the ASCII line at the top
of the messages from the server, specifically the last 3 characters. If
you are having the same trouble that I was having, changing all the tildes
(0x7e) back to carets (0x5e) before uudecoding will fix it.
