   Your problem may be as simple as that the computer you're using
extends files to integral disk blocks. Or has some other nontrivial
problem.

   It's nearly impossible to say determine what's wrong. I'm working
on an HP-48 based uudecode that replaces the uudecoded string with the
new object.  It will use 1/3 of the memory of ASC and will alleviate
many of the problems associated with transfering large libraries to
the HP-48. I will post it as soon as I'm finished.

   If you have STAR 1.04.4, then the file amiga.zoo contains an
AmigaDOS binary executable. If you have some earlier version, then get
1.04.4 either by anonymous FTP from ftp.ai.mit.edu in
pub/star-1.04.4.tar.Z or from Wayne Scott's mail server:
hp-mail-server@seq.uncwil.edu, put "send help" as the only line in the
message. Some other FTP sites may also carry it.
