I have a program called "ship" (written in C) that works on a wide
range of Unix machines, as well as MSDOS, that uses base 85 coding
as well as automatically splits mail into pieces if requested, mails
them if requested, reassembles them at the other end, and also does
a four byte CRC check on the result.  I can send it to whoever is
interested.
