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!
