The point about editing the files is superflous. With the newer
UUDECODE, if you have multiple files that are numbered properly, it 
will do ALL THE WORK. For example, save the pieces as
blah1.uue,blah2.uue,blah3.uue and blah4.uue. Then run
UUDECODE BLAH1. It will automatically attach the files and ignore the
lead in gobbledegook. You don't even have to change newline to cr/lf. So
just download the files as is, and put them together on your pc. Easy
as pie.  

The version of UU-DECODE that I use is by Richard Marks and is version
2.8 . The UU-Encode is equally excellent.
