- I assume your particular news reader doesn't have automatic UU-code
- extraction. If you're using current versions of rn, trn, and a few
- others, there will be a command to do all this for you. Trn and rn
- use "e <directoryname>" for extraction.

- Well, you can try manually stripping headers and footers from each
- file and concatenating the parts together (with the DOS copy command)
- and running UUdecode on the resultant file. Headers may be getting in
- your way here, sometimes they fool batch-decode programs.

-
- There is a set of UU{en|de}code programs at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. I
- forget the name of the archive, but the apps within it are UUD.EXE and
- UUE.EXE. They've handled every file I've run through it, although
- that isn't very much.
