Actually, if >someone has a ms-dos filter that will do that, that would suffice too. No need to edit anything at all. Give your files names like cwp01.uue, cwp02.uue, etc. and then use Richard Marks' uudecode program with a command like: uudecode cwp01.uue Marks' program automatically picks up cwp02.uue and other files in the sequence, it throws away everything that you'd throw away, and it evaluates checksums to boot. Even if you have the best editor in the world (which you probably never will have on a PC), I think you'll find that Marks' program is preferable for this application. It's available on SIMTEL20 as PD1:UUEXE413.ZIP. -- Internet: bstocker@du.edu BITNET: BSTOCKER@DUCAIR HockeyNet: The DU Pioneers!
