I have seen the "Short file" message before in cases where part of the mail
system has stripped off trailing blanks from the uuencoded files.  Blanks
are, of course, significant to UUDECODE.

Blake, the only line which should be short is the very last one before the
"end" statement.  If you see some of the encoded lines that look like they
have one or more spaces at their end, make sure that there REALLY are spaces
there and not just a <CR>--those lines should never be "short."
