The metafont arc is broken into 6 pieces of less then 32 K. At the end of the files is the statement 'include metafont.uuX'. I have tried uudecode on unix and on the atari. I have tried it on the files seperately and I even cat'ed the files together and tried it. I created one big file and removed all the non uudecode statements and tried that. What is the correct procedure to uudecode a set of files that are in parts? I have a mailbox containing the readnews arc/uudecode messages. What do I do next? ALso, I am in a rush to get metafont working. Anyone out there have a place I can ftp the .arc file from? And finally, while I have your attention, anyone have source to a program that will dearc the .arc files from him1 on a unix machine? I have a unix machine with the .arc files I ftp'ed but some are over 720K. My unix can write dos floppies so if I get the files under 720 K I don't have to kermit them to my atari... I can DOSxfer them. _ "Shadow, do something! Those flying Morpheous / \ birds are going to get us!"
