	I have been trying to uudecode and deARC files from the Atarinet
server in Houston.  I have as yet to get one of these stupid file to work
on my ST.  The file that I have been working on for about two weeks (off
and on) is UNITERM.ALL, the most recent (1.7b) version of Simon's UniTerm.

	The file appears to have been originally uuencoded with Dumas' 
uuencode (there are trailing 'a's, 'b's, 'c's, 'd's and 'e's at the 
end of each line.)  There is NO table at the top.  I have tried to
do the 'lrecl 61' and fill the spaces with 'z's as someone suggested
here.  But nothing works.

	What happens is that it seems to uudecode fine, but once I try
to deARC the bugger it gives me "bad byte in header, 0 bytes skipped"
and dies.  When I tried to deARC it with an ARC on Unix, it pulled the
old "segmentation error:  core dumped" (..sigh..)

	If anyone has any suggestions or have had similar problems, please
send e-mail to the address below or reply to the net.  I will not have an
account here after August 5 so don't send replys here.  (but I have
a friend with net access, so that'd be fine.)

	'Preciate it.
