Well he wasn't the only person having this problem, I got a short file
message when I uudecoded it too.  I think part of the problem might be
that I'm doing the uudecode on my Unix system, but this has never been
a problem for anything I've ever gotten from "comp.binaries.ibm.pc",
but perhaps things are different for the ST world.  Is it possible
that the St version of uudecode is different?  I have included the
last few lines of the uuencoded bigscrn.arc below, between the rows of
"-----"'s.

I would appreciate it if the original poster (Julian F. Reschke) would
compare the above lines with what he origianlly posted, to see if they
agree.

I should also note that Jan-Hinrich Fessel was talking about
bigscrn.prg being compressed with "compress" and that what I and Dirk
Husemann have was compressed/archived with "arc".  Of course it is
possible that bigscrn.prg was compressed before it was arc'ed, but I
haven't been able to get past uudecode so I can't tell.

At any rate, I hope someone out there can clear up the confusion, I'd
really appreciate it.
