Does anybody happen to have UUENCODE/UUDECODE lying about (either as a
Mac application or, if possible, some C sources)? I want to move some binary
data between my Mac and Terak computers, and the latter has a Kermit which
only understands text files. Presumably uuencode/decode would just read/write
data forks to files. If anybody has a generic C source instead (or, for
that matter, a one-line description of the algorithm...!), I'm quite
happy to hack in the proper file management and SFGetFile/PutFile stuff, and
throw it at Lightspeed C.
   Oh, yes: are the microscopic DIN plugs used in the serial ports standard
components which can be bought and soldered up into cables? Or do I have to
go down to my Apple dealer and pay $Youch! for a DIN<->RS232 cable?

	Thanks.
		Nick.
