Sure isn't, I have got lots of programs from ATARINET - thanks to UACE.
I do however have to fix all files before I uudecode. The problem is that
our local VM system uses the Danish version of the EBCDIC character set,
and the conversion from US EBCDIC is not done very well. I sugest that
you try to download one of the newer files encoded with the newest version
of uuencode. These files contain a table of the characters used. If you are
in luck you may be able to deduce from that table what characters to
change. It would defenitly be a help i all files was decod with the
newest decoder.
