Yup, worked fine first time around, just concated the UUcoded bits and had
Spark handle the rest.
When I saw the posting I thought it would be a substitute to the dreaded
Pilling-Hearsay (Still the closest I can get to a decent coms package, haven't
seen the latest ARC-term) but I was greatly dismayed at seeing the thing
in the flesh.
Whereas this is not free software (yes, read the info bit) I feel free to say
it was not worth the time it took to upload.  The name of the author and 
program are constantly underlaid in big (not at all friendly) letters
on the background of the terminal-window, what a strange attempt at publishing
one's name.  
Don't get me wrong, I do not object to posting shareware to the net but
a human readable part of the posting has to indicate so!
