I just discovered that uud ing on DOS doesn't work, the share filenames  are
too long and it happily truncates the names and then writes them over each 
other so you loose a bunch of the files. Copying them over to minix  and then
using  dosread with the -a option to strip LFs and then uud ing them and   
decompressing them has worked for the first 31 (so far!) for me. It also 
appears that file 10 and file 16 have the same .Z file name so you need to
either rename them or move one to another directory. If you need to do the
uuds under DOS it should be possible to do it by uuding and then uncompressing
and renaming the files as required (ie. do the uud and uncompress one after the 
other rather than do all the  uuds then uncompress everything.
