Again OK, there are ports of the Unix UUDECODE/UUENCODE program for DOS.
Check out the following FTP site (or mirror);
huh.harvard.edu
login: FTP or ANONYMOUS
password: your e-mail address
CD (move to directory) pub/software/miscellaneous
GET (the two files) uudecode.exe and uuencode.exe
don't forget to SET TYPE BINARY before transferring
download these to your PC and bingo!
[You Can GOPHER to huh.harvard.edu if you fancy that too! and its much
easier]
If you don't want to UUENCODE/UUDECODE on your DOS PC then your mainframe
should be able to do this before/after you get the files. No the UUENCODEd
file is not self extracting.
Hope this helps,
Rupert
