- I'll take it either way. If we can justify a separate newsgroup, fine. If
- not, post 'em here. They would be a bit easier to deal with in a separate
- group, but if they are few and far between they might just as well be here.

- As for problems with uuencoded files, I receive them via an SMTP gateway
- to the Tandem network, which is not Unix, MS-DOS, or Atari. I'm sure few
- of you have heard of the Guardian 90 opeating system. Anyhoo, from there
- I IXF to my MS-DOS PC, copy to a 3.5-inch floppy, take the file home to my
- ST, uudecode with Steve Yelvington's UUCODER.PRG, and use Xformer to get
- it over to the $ machine. There are probably as many ways of capturing
- uuencoded files out there as there are 8-bitters interested in doing so.
-
- How do YOU uudecode and xfer to your $ Atari?
