How did you receive the files? Direct modem connection or via email? I have
received uuencoded files very often yet, but I have not heard of such a
behavior. If you agree, I can send you uuencoded files from my VuePrint via
CompuServe CMail and you can have a look on it.
> carriage returns you told me to remove
The carriage return (CR = ASCII 13 = hex 0D) is a control character and
normally invisible to the user. The MSDOS-PCs end each line with CR LF (ASCII
13 and ASCII 10) whereas Unix and the Amiga ends each line only with a Line
Feed (LF = ASCII 10 = hex 0A). I am using CygnusEd to remove the CRs, because
this program makes control characters (except LF) visible.
