As to UUEncode, I havn't found any files that will decode
correctly from this newsgroup.  They all say 'Short file'
and will not D/L correctly into the HP.  Somone posted they
were working on a UUencode for the HP that didn't use a buffer
and therefore only used 1/3 the space of ASC.  How hard
would it be to re-write ASC to do the same?  Ahhh, nevermind.
Just hope some HP owener wins $50 million and buys us all a pair
of 128K ram cards.  :-) :-) :-)
