Very simply, I need an ASC-> decoder that will work on my UNIX machine.
C code , perl, awk or anything else that works.  BUT I need everything,
not just a formula or the skeleton of a perl script (already posted).
I tried that perl script and after adding a whole bunch of shit just so
my machine would recognize it, it wouldn't read a damn thing.  
My problem is, when I try to download a 7.5K ASC object and I only have 
11K available.  Apparently it needs two copies of the damn thing because
I just get Insuficient memory over and over.  I would like to be able to
decode it on the UNIX and thus be able to do a binary instead of ASCII 
transfer which avoids this odd problem.

THERE WILL BE NO STUDENT DEFERMENTS!!  Something to think about.
