Thanks to Dennis Vadura for pointing me in the right direction on
my uudecode problem.  I looked in the C sources for uudecode that
I had received from Columbia as part of the new GEM Kermit
distribution.  Sure enough, it opened the binary output using
fopen(<name>, "wb") . In Alcyon C, this must be replaced by a call
on a different function: fopenb(<name>, "w").  Similar changes must
be made to uuencode so that its binary input is opened properly.
(Of course, one must also remember to declare the new function.)
After making the changes, I had no trouble in decoding the Kermit
resource and executable file, and they work fine.  I'm looking forward
now to decoding uEMACS 3.7 and other goodies that have been
accumulating on the net.
