Summary: For efficiency, download THEN uudecode...

Just a comment:  I download files from a VAX running C-kermit under Unix, to
an MSDOS machine running Procomm.  I find that the two kermits, in binary-file-
type mode, transfer files at half the rate of text files (makes sense, I guess).

Since a uuencoded file is only 33% larger than the binary form, and I can
download it as a text file, things go faster for me if I download uuencoded
files and uudecode them locally.
