[replace this line with a beautiful thought]

Try uudecode filename.
All files in the format you mentioned are coded to facilitate the transfer
of binary files through the net. Since some sites won't handle 8 bit transfers,
all files must be converted to pure 7 bit ASCII. The conversion to and from
7 bit ASCII is done by using the two programs UUENCODE and UUDECODE.
Ask your system administrator if they are available on your system. If not,
let me know and I'll see if I can mail them to you.
