( I use an ATARI as terminal, so I have binaries of it ) | There is a uuencode/decode set for the PC that does all of the above. Maybe not in the same way, but it does all of it. It was written by a gentleman whose name I shall not mention for fear of giving credit to the wrong person for this wonderful program.
