Ok, here's my problem. I use bitftp from the princeton site, select BINARY
and GET a file called xxx.lzh. I then cat the pieces and remove the headers.
Next I run uudecode on a unix system on the file. I get the file I want, but
how do I download this to my amiga at home?

I have an amiga and a Telebit T1000 modem that I use to dial onto the unix 
system at work. I am using AmigaTerm as my terminal emulator. I have used this
set up to download text files (turn on buffer, cat file, turn off buffer).
This doesn't work for binary. Is there some way to download these xxx.lzh
files using my set up, or do I need a program to uudecode the files on my 
amiga? And if so, where can I get it (without downloading a binary).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
