  I prefer UUencode because it is widespread. However I have been bitten
by the character set ("stty(1)" "kill" character was set to "@").
  Since you indicate XXencode/XXdecode runs on HP-UX (and the PC),
I don't really care :-)

  On the archiving/compression utility: I vote (are we voting? :-)) for
LHARC. As a previous poster said: It is as efficient as anything else,
free, one program, very simple to use, doesn't fail on you, etc.
