#Sending UUE Files
3 messages in this thread
Betty,
What's the best, fastest method to send a uuencoded file via Internet when
the file is many times larger than the 50K cutoff? Is there a way to group
select the files, address them once and send? Yesterday I spent the better
part of the evening importing and addressing each individual file. There
has to be a better way.
Thanks,
CT
Carson,
It's been a long, long time since I send a long uuencoded file via Internet.
But there is a program that will split uuencoded files into chunks of the size
you need and send them one at a time, and the use at the other end can just
join them back together before decoding them. I'm sorry, but I do not remember
the name of that program. It's been *years*.

Betty,
I've got the program — UUxT. What it does is split the file into
specified chunks by line numbers or K-bites. But you still have to address
and send each individual chunk separately, or so it seems. What I'm after
is a method whereby you can pre-select these chunked files, select your
recipient, and send them once. It would be neat if AP had a feature like
this. UUencoding a half-meg or greater file can result in 10 – 30 or more
files. See what I mean? Sending each one separately is a real byte.
