I recently downloaded the IIgs uuencode/uudecode programs from BITFTP,
files APPLE2-L 90-01877 and APPLE2-L 90-01878.  After unshrinking,
I find that I have the source for a man page, two "c" source files,
and two "EXE" files.  I am trusting these EXE files to work since I
don't have a C compiler.  

I put the EXE files in my PROSEL commands directory so I can run them
from the ProSel-16 shell.

However, here I get stuck.  I can't get uudecode to work.  Assuming a
uuencoded file called "uufile, I enter the ProSel-16 shell command 
line and I have tried things like "uudecode uufile", 
"uudecode < uufile", and "uudecode < uufile > newfile". Nothing seems
to work.  All I get is a blank screen that accepts input but doesn't
do anything, requiring the ol' three-finger reboot.

Can anybody tell me what I have to do to get things to work?
(ROM01 with 1.5M GS-RAM, 40M SeaGate home-built hard disk).
