Wonderful.  What good is a standard that's unavailable to half the net???
uu{en,de}code comes with 4.2 UUCP.  Not System {III,V}.  Not V[67].  Not
[XV]enix.  So it MUST be a standard.  AAUGH!  On the other hand, BinHex
is posted every so often, IN SOURCE, to net.sources.mac, so it's always
easy to find.  If this IBM-PC mod group goes through I'll be glad to
provide a binary-to-ASCII program in BASICA; I can't help Xenix PCers,
unless they get MBasic in Xenix (if they get C I'm sure I can post a C
version as well).
