- Indeed there must. I wish that the uuencode standard had some provision for
- "next" or "more" or "continue" as well as "end" so that a file or stdin could
- contain the uuencodes of several binaries, all of which would be decoded and
- written out by one call to uudecode without being split into separate files
- first.
-
- As it stands now, uudecode sees the "end" signal at the foot of the first
- encoded file's data and stops.
