Uuencode/decode is also available for the PC. I'm not sure about other

kinds of computers. And I've never used it on my PC since I find it just

as easy to use it online and then download the uudecoded files. Uuencode

doesn't compress the file, so you're not shortening your download time by

waiting to uudecode it on your PC. The only reason for using uuencode is

to be able to send binary files via e-mail. You can send a program or a

Wordperfect document or whatever if the person receiving it also has

uuencode/decode.
