UUencodes
2 messages in this thread
Sean,
the lines beginning with "M" are the uuencoded file, this seems to be correct.
All lines beginning with "M" (only exception is the last one) MUST have the
same length, otherwise the file was corrupted.
If I get such files, I cut away the first lines with garbage, will say I load
the file into a plain text editor and and delete all lines until "section 3/3
…".
But this does look like that this file is the third of three files, so to
uudecode it, you need the two files before and join them together. I am pretty
shure that the first file has the "begin" word in it.
BTW I am using Vueprint 4.1 on a PC sometimes. I will try to create a uuencoded
file and look what UUxT will say to it.

Thank you, Erich.
I would be very interested to know if VuePrint 4.1 can create and/or handle
uuencoded files. I think the file he sent was complete, despite the "section
3/3" reference. However, he seems to be trying a new scheme using something
called MIME. And for the briefest moment, I was elated to find the Amiga
version in the Compuserve library, the programs being mpack and munpack. But
when I tried to munpack a file he sent to me mpacked, I got an error message
saying that "NetSupport.library" was not found, and it "could not parse
configfiles". So, I looked for this "NetSupport.library" where I found mpack,
and I cannot find this library!!! I am getting so frustrated with this ordeal.
Everyone is telling me that uuencoded files are standard across platforms, but
this is turning into one bizarre stumbling block after another. Again, thanks
for your help. It is appreciated.
