I've been using the awk script that follows on our Unix systems 
successfully for quite a while.  If you run it on a file that has all 
the parts of a distribution in it in numerical order, it'll strip the 
extraneous stuff out of it and output a file suitable for uudecoding.


To use it, you can paste it into a file called 'stripuue.awk', copy it 
into your News directory, and add this line to your .cshrc:

alias strip 'awk -f ~/News/stripuue.awk'

(To be able to use the shell alias immediately, type "source .cshrc" at 
the csh prompt.)

Thereafter, when you save a set of binaries/sources with the 's' 
command, you can use the same filename for each to effectively 
concatenate all the parts into one file (but make sure they are cat'ed 
in the correct order...sometimes part03 comes before part02, etc.)  

Then you can just type something like:

strip filename > stripped.filename

and you should be able to uudecode the "stripped.filename" at that
point without problems.


'stripuue.awk' follows:

-------Delete everything above this line, inclusive----------------
BEGIN { mode=0  }
$1!="table" && mode==0 { }
$1=="table" && mode==0 { mode=1; print $0 }
mode==1 && $1!="table" && $1!="include" { print $0 }
$1=="include" && mode==1 { mode=2; }
$1=="include" && mode==0 { mode=2; }
$1=="begin" && mode==2 { mode=1 }
-------Delete everything below this line, inclusive----------------
