As someone who is new to this newsgroup, I would like to know
if it is possible to decode Sparc encoded files on an ordinary
Unix system, without Sparc.

I have tried uudecoding such a file and it creates a file of
type 'arc' in my directory, but this is an invalid archive
according to Unix.

Please mail any answers to the address below.

Thank you.
