- There are undoubtably UUdecode programs available for the 64. Craig
- Bruce's ACE has it built-in. You could do it on your PC and then transfer
- the program to your 64. If you have a shell account you could decode it
- there and then download it to the 64. Finally, if you are referring to
- "polygonamy", you can just FTP it from ccnga.uwaterloo.ca in directory
- /pub/cbm/INCOMING/demos/polygonamy.

- I just checked ccnga and there are indeed some uu programs in the c64utils
- directory.
