Am I missing something?  If the posts are getting read on a unix, etc.
machine, then saving the parts to discrete files named part1.uue, part2.uue,
etc. and then downloading them to the PC (since these are to be used on PC's
under MS-DOS and not unix, etc, right?) and then using uuexe413 or something
similiar THAT IGNORES HEADERS, TRAILERS, ETC. to place in the orginal format
would seem the way to go.
