I have the following problem and was hoping someone here would have already
solved it. I have files created on an apollo by the Mentor Graphics CAD
software packages. These files represent schematics and other misc.
documentation. Many of the files are of type rec, or hdru. I would like to
find a way to convert these into a form that is suitable for E-mailing to
another site. I have tried the cvt_rec_uasc command but found that
converting a file, then "un-converting" it yields a file that differs from
the original. So my question is:

How do I convert a typed file into a regular ascii file (which I can
uuencode and mail) and then convert it back to a typed file after receipt on
a remote system?

Thanks in advance.
