Since INTERNET runs on UNIX you MAY need to run an uuencoder and
an uudecoder program to successfully transfer DOS files across the
Internet. It depends on what Internet program you are using. First
try sending the Capture the Flag saved game and see if it works. I'm
told that some of the newer Internet programs handle the uuencoder
and the uudecoder functions for you automatically.
If it doesn't work that means your Internet program cannot send
DOS files successfully. Talk to someone who knows Internet. They
will probably give you the UUENCODE/UUDECODE programs. I'm told
there are several excellent shareware UUENCODE/UUDECODE programs.
Before you send the saved game type "uuencode -s filename.md1 filename"
where filename is the 1-8 character name you have given to your saved
game. For example, if you gave your save game file the name of cblue1
then you would type "uuencode -s cblue1.md1 cblue1". Then send the
uuencode file cblue1 (and not the cblue1.md1) to your opponent.
You opponent types "uudecode cblue1" which I'm told recreates the
cblue1.md1 file. The cblue1.md1 is now ready to be loaded.
