Thanks to Dennis Pixton I found the cause of the problem:
The preceding table used tildes for carets (~ instead of ^). Since
neither the Unix uudecode nor my own ST hack of uudecode knows about
translation tables, the resulting arc file was corrupt. Replacing ~ by ^
and again uudecoding solved this. Hmm, my uu[de|en]code needs revising...

B.T.W. anyone knows of a standard Unix uu[de|en]code (not the Dumas
program) that knows about tables? Ultrix's doesn't.
