+---------------------------------------------------------
+ 
+ Although people have mentioned the problem with IBM hosts in changing
+ carets to tildes, there's another one I haven't seen mentioned lately
+ which cropped up when I tried to get files from the LISTSERV@CANADA01
+ server.
+ 
+ ** ALL TRAILING SPACES ARE REMOVED BY RSCS (at least, I assume RSCS :-) **
+ 
+ This means that you'll have to wander through your uuencoded file and
+ make all lines of uniform length, be it by hand or otherwise.  Between
+ this and changing the tildes to carets, you shouldn't have any more
+ troubles..  (I hope! :-)

i really urge people to use the version of uu*code from J. Dumas
that i posted to comp.*.atari.st a while ago, it handles both of
those problems by a) putting a predefined translation table at the
start of each uue file and b) appending a letter to the end of each
line. If there are enough requests i'll repost the sources & bin's
Please send your requests to ...decwrl!imagen!atari-sources-requests
