- Yes, the program is UUcoded. UUdecode is pretty standard on mainframes, and
- there is a version for the C-64 at milton.u.washington.edu. I'm not sure how
- you would go about getting a copy w/o FTP aaccess, though.
-
- And yes, assuming you do get uudecode, you will need to edit out BBS [More]
- prompts, as the decoder will try to decode the prompts as binary, and you get a
- scrambled file.
