I found my troubles in being not able to run some uuencoded programs
comming over the net.

The translation of the not-Char/circumflex(^)-Char is not unique.

Translating it to EBCDIC 5Fhex and sending it over some gateways,
it not always returns as EBCDIC 5Fhex, sometimes it returns
as EBCDIC 71hex. (I saw it sending it to ucbvax and return)
Now I have told our translation table to recognize 71hex as 5Fhex too.

Strange !

Maybe that this is a hint for those having no success in uudecoding.
