My copy is broken The uuencoded file had trailing spaces stripped off the ends of lines. Some uudecodes will detect a 'short' line and just assume the missing characters should have been spaces. Yours probably doesn't (mine didn't; sigh), so go through the file and add spaces to the ends of lines that have the spaces missing, until they are the same length as the other lines. Then it should uudecode properly. fred
