Summary: It donna' work, Captain!

I was glad to find that there was a depository for Amiga software, but
I don't seem to be able to use it!  What I'm doing is this:

1) I save the uuencoded posting to a file (using non-mailbox format)

2) I clip off the header from the top of the archive file I just created.

3) I uudecode it.

4) I transfer it to my Amiga.

The only problem is that I always get a corrupted file.  When I try to run
the program, I get a 'file is not an object module' error.  I think what
might be wrong is that the file size of the file on the mainframe that
I download to my Amiga is always about a half a kilobyte smaller.
I am using Kermit to download (which is the only file transfer utility
offered on our system).  Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

   Thanks,
