 That is definitely an IBM computer that is doing it. EBCDIC does not 
have '[' and ']' in the character set. Don't shoot
the computer, shoot IBM. Now we know what is at the root  of all these
problems. BRAIN DAMAGED IBM MACHINES (once again!!).

 May i make a suggestion. Lets drop UUENCODE and adopt BinHex. There is a
good reason why people in the Mac world use it. Even IBM computers can
handle the characters 'A'...'F'. If there is enough interest i will
post  the source for BinHex here.
