Try "UUENCODE >game.u game". I just tried the Amiga version of UUencode on my system and here is how I did it. RAM DISK:> uuencode shell-startup.uue shell-startup This produced the file 'shell-startup.uue' which I then putfiles-ed (using DNet -- Thanks Matt!) to the SPARC I'm using. The file properly uudecoded without a hitch. The protection bits apparently default to octal 644. BTW, Unix uuencode works a bit differently. To uuencode the same file, I would type: pooh.cc.utexas.edu% uuencode shell-startup shell-startup >shell-startup.uue In this case, the protection bits are inherited from the file. Hope this helps!
