I have the ASCII version in my machine and what you descirbe hasn't happened once.

I have heard ( maybe from Jan ) that some versions of uuencode extend the file lenght to intergral blocks and this screws things up. ====================================================================== ___ I__) _ _I _ _ Tim Strong I \ (_I (_I (_I I Michigan Tech.
