Subject: My Final Post on uuencoding



I wrote our univ. helpdesk this query:

The helpdesk responded:



I looked all through our mac server called Promethius. I could not find

a uudecoder. You may want to check with some of your friends that have

macs. You may be able to access a bulletin board and down load a file

that will do it.

If you have other questions you can call us here. Have a good weekend.



I think I can live without uuencoding for now. That's all, follks.



Enjoyed the thread, irrelevant as it was.
