Thanks to several who have replied about my in-ability to UUDECODE the 
latest version of the alphabetic FredFish listing.

The concensus was I had been victimized by a mail handler that stripped off
trailing blanks.  There were as many suggestions for fixing it as there were
replies.  In general - pad out the short lines with blanks.  Some of you
reported success with this approach, but I have not yet conquored it.

I tried several variations of this, most of which UUDECODE did not like.
Most resulted in the "short file" message and no modification of the file.
I finally got a version it did not complain about, but it did not decode 
it either.

OK, I give up!!  Does some one have a clean copy of the UUENCODEd version
they can mail me or point me to a copy (encoded, and/or zoo'd or in the
clear) that I can access via FTP?

Probably if I were more familiar with what UUDECODE expects I might be able
to resolve the problem with the original copy, but I do not have the luxury
of enough time to find out via experimentation.

Thanks again for the fine responses past and future.

Regards,  Jerry Whitman
