i have tried out the uuencode on our unix system here, and it does indeed
put spaces into the uuencoded lines... this makes sense, anything else
wouldn't be compatible across machines...  somebody had mentioned that
a turbo basic uuencode program on the ibm pc put something else in place
of spaces (i believe it is a grave accent)...

that's (i'm sorry, i meant turbo pascal), turbo pascal & ibm for ya...
leaders in screwing up sensible standards for years...
