I uudecoded a uuencoded file and received the error: Short file.
The resulting binary file was incomplete.  What does this error
mean and how can I fix it?  The man page was unenlightening.
I examined the uuencoded file and
saw that both the 'begin' and 'end' statements were intact.
I am running on SunOS 4.1.1.
