Having received the above reply I tried again. Even went to the extent
of modifying the UUDECODE code so that I could spread the UUE files over
more than one disk! However I still get the same problem. I can think of
three possible causes:

1) The UUE file do not travel well across the 'pond'.

2) I do not have enough memory (half meg ST) for the M2LOADER program to
   run.

3) The program is incompatable with my TOS (circa 1987).

I do not have enough experience to distinguish between (2) and (3).
Any help would be gratefully received.
