here is what i use, a unix csh script which calls the "dumas" uudecode
(here called uude). it unpacked every binary/source posted to c.s.a.st
and c.b.a.st:

#!/bin/csh
#
# NAME
#	uud.sh -- script for uudecoding a split file
#
# SYNOPSIS
#	uud file1 file2 ...
#

set file=$1
echo "doing file $1 (first one)..."

if ( $#argv > 1 ) then
#	sed -e '1,/^@ABCDEFG/d' -e '/^include/,$d' $file > x.uue
#	some files don't have "@ABCD..." so find a line starting with "begin"
#	and print it. then delete from start to (and including) that line
	sed -e '/^begin/p' -e '1,/^begin/d' -e '/^include/,$d' $file > x.uue
	shift
	foreach file ($*)
		echo "doing file $file ..."
		sed -e '1,/^begin/d' -e '/^include/,$d' $file >> x.uue
	end
else
#	sed -e '1,/^@ABCDEFG/d' $file > x.uue
	sed -e '/^begin/p' -e '1,/^begin/d' $file > x.uue
endif
unset file
echo "doing uude x.uue..."
uude x.uue
echo "done."
/bin/rm -i x.uue
exit
