- This isn't quite right.

- The difference between "send" and "sendb" is that "sendb" always uuencodes
- the files you request. "send" checks to see if the file is asciii or
- binary first then uuencodes if appropriate. Unless you really need
- uuencoded text files, "send" is the proper command to use.
