- Perhaps an "end-of-file" marker got added to each one? DOS's COPY can do
- that, and so can FTP's GET , with the wrong choice of ASCII vs. BINARY;
- or perhaps an unwanted extra EOF or NL or CR got added by the editor you
- split the files with. [Then [con]cat[ena]ting them together will leave
- you with those two unwanted added characters.] You might be able to
- just filter them out, if they're different from the newline characters
- terminating each line of your UUcode.
