I just received a file from internet which requires a file called uudecode. I have no idea what this is or how to run it. Please send HELP! Lee Steel

I found what I needed in the form of a Windows App. If anyone else might like a copy of this I could post it on the forum. UUencode/UUdecode Lee

> [uudecode] I have no idea what this is or how to run it. < It's a way of changing binary data to ASCII data for transmission over networks. uudecode changes an ASCII back into binary. Check the PC File finder, it should be there somewhere. If not, look in the archiver directory of a large FTP site. — James — Choreo Motion —

Lee, Both UUencode and UUdecode are available on the Autodesk AutoCAD forum in Library 10 [Utilities].

Evidently the version in the ACAD forum is older. This was the first file I tried and it wouldn't work with my files. I have a newer version from the EURFORUM that runs very nicely under windows and worked on my files. Would you like it to be uploaded here? Lee

Lee, Which one did you try ??? Davis Augustine posted both UUNT.ZIP (for NT) and UUCODE.ZIP (for DOS), and both files are recent (like the 19th of January). There is also a shareware encoder/decoder, graphics coder/decoder and archiver/dearc called ZRFW.ZIP (short of ZR FileWorks) that is as recent as 21st of February.

The one I picked up is called WINCODE and although it's date is 10/94, like I said, it was the only one that worked. Has a nice windows interface as well. Lee
