Apollo bitmaps are typed files, so they don't like being uuencoded. I would use `tar' with the `A' option first. E.g. % tar Acf - gemacs.bmf |compress|uuencode gemacs.tar.Z>gemacs.tar.Z.uu And to get it back you would pipe this article to `uudecode' and then say % zcat gemacs.tar.Z |tar Axf - Here is gemacs.tar.Z.uu: begin 644 gemacs.tar.Z M'YV0+^BT@1,PC!P78>"\8/'D"-+GDRYLN7+F#-KWLRY ML^?/H$-;['%HT2I0`7CP`P`(`)**K5M/##SXXE>)826.%/-&S"&/QP"D(8<7X`1`#``#'##)O^`(0!^76S3#QP%M#;` M/_Q\`\T"`'S@PQ_N^(./!`"`$4P49ZC"RP0`?!),(O-4P4<$@?P!SAWSJ(** M!O[\`\\#8U1!10,!_--/`,.0@LH!5_P#X@%34%#F/^M`X\`JF`#PPS?^J*.+ M%23T^,HD?\C#"!HWNI//+_540<<#7D10R!+Z,(+,`:\(H(
