<< ANSI-art -> How to XXDECODE (it's easy) >>

Dear ascii/ansi enthusiasts:

I would like to remind all folks that had problems 
on decoding some ANSI-art I posted recently, that
XXdecode should be used to restore the zip archives.
^^
About xxencode/xxdecode:           
 
It's a replacement for uuencode/uudecode for UNIX, MS-DOS, 
and VM/CMS which uses a gateway-transparent dataset.
Contributor: David Camp <dav...@wucs1.wustl.edu>
 
You can get xxdecode/xxencode via anon-ftp from:
 
       oak.oakland.edu:/pub2/unix-c/mail/xxcp.tar.Z
 
If you are an Unix newbie (as myself), do as follows
to compile it:
 
   uncompress xxcp.tar.Z
   tar -xvf xxcp.tar
   cd xxcp/src
   make
 
And presto, you'll have xxencode and xxdecode executables.
 
If you are a PC (ms-dos) user, get the ready executables 
from xxcp/bin directory.
 
If you had problems before, try once more. The files worth it.
Good ANSI viewing!
 
- c.a.t.
