Lines: 12 Keywords: uuencoded pc binaries Lately some of the binaries that have been posted cannot be uudecoded by my *nix system. I have not changed my system in any way. Is anyone else having this problem? The problem occurring is that I get the message "short file". If the poster(s) is using a non-standard 'uuencode' program then I suggest the person not post anything until the program is fixed. One more reason for a moderator. -- Larry Autry larry@sgistl.sgi.com or {ucbvax,sun,ames,pryamid,decwrl}!sgi!sgistl!larry
