- It shouldn't be a problem for most people. There are uuencode/uudecode
- programs for the 8-bit. I know there is a version of uudecode written in
- Atari Basic. I'm not sure if I have a copy, but someone here probably does
- if it's needed. If I may make a suggestion: When you post a binary file,
- start the subject with the word BINARY:, and that way people who don't want
- binary files can use a kill file.
