- Hi...
-
- To get uuencode to work right, do the following:
-
- Say you want to uuencode the binary file blah.mid into the text file blah.uu:
- At the unix prompt, type:
- uuencode blah.mid blah.mid > blau.uu
-
- I know that sounds weird, but it works. I'm not sure why you have to
- put the source filename as both the desired file AND the remote file,
- but that's the only way I've been able to get it to work, and it works
- just fine that way.
