REQ: UUDecode needed

REQ: UUDecode needed

alt.ascii-art · 13 messages · 7 May 1996 - 19 May 1996
Please, please, please somebody tell me how to get a hold of UUDecode! (:-(

I have downloaded several long decoded messages from you wonderful Ascii
people (artists) in the past 2 years.  I can't look at ANY of them! :-(

Please help!

Two or 3 people have been so kind to mail me a decoding program in C (for
which, I have no language or compiler on my computer) and in Basic (for which
I have no compiler).

I really don't know what to do.  All the supposed experts who work in the
Comp. Dept. don't know how to decode anything -- even the ones who've done it
before!

Thanks!  Much obliged!
Kishan
desperate dude (will have to resort to panhandling next :-( )

Gotcha!
I hope/believe you needed a version for dos, well,
I've attached it for you; if you can't detach it, you can also try 
downloading it, i've put it in my ftp dir:
-
ftp cal012042.student.utwente.nl
cd /pub
bin
get uuencode_e_3403.zip
quit
-

Hope i've helped!

GrntX,

Erwin Wessels

the easiest way to decode is to use the free Agent offline reader

Ich wollte einfach mal meinen Senf dazu geben

How about searching at Shareware.com ... 

That will turn it up for download.

You can find uudecode at many anonymous ftp and www sites.  I'm not sure which 
ones off the top of my head but you might start at Garbo 
(ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi) or SimTel net (http://www.simtel.net or 
ftp://ftp.simtel.net)

It is very small and simple ... so I'll post it and tell you how to do it .
Here it is ...



Remove everything up to and including cut here.  Save the resulting file
as uudecode.com.  This will be your decoder for most everthing on the
Usenet.  Simply get your encoded files that are split and posted to the
board and cut and put them all together in one file and run uudecode.com
on them and the program will decode the encoded file and save the resulting
file for you.

This is not my program. It has been around a long time and works fine.

ASCII executable file UUDECODE.COM with DOC file.

These files have been extracted from the Starter Kit posted twice 
monthly on the newsgroup comp.binaries.ibm.pc

=================================================================

All you have to do is simply copy and save the file(s) and just 
name them UUDECODE.COM and UUDECODE.DOC respectively.
No decoding - no nothing. An executable file in ascii text -

   UUDECODE.DOC
   by David Kirschbaum <kir...@peo-mis-emh1.army.mil>

UUDECODE uudecodes uuencoded files to original binary form.  It is
compatible with the Unix (and other) uuencode/uudecode utilities.

Usage:

          UUDECODE<RETURN>
    Displays usage message, prompts for input file name.

          UUDECODE [-o ][d:][\path\]filename.uue
    Produces a uudecoded file, with the filename taken from
    within the uuencoded file (which might include a path),
    (provided the filename doesn't exist.  Use the "-o"
    (or "/o") switch to force overwriting of any existing
    output file.)

          UUDECODE /?  (or -?)
    Writes a brief help screen to STDOUT and terminates.

Notes:

UUDECODE checks for existing files with the same name as the newly
created output file.  It will produce an error message and abort if it
finds one!  (Use the "-o" switch to force overwriting existing files.)

UUDECODE will accept an input path\filename up to 80 chars long, and will
prompt if none is specified.

A uudecoded filename is taken from the uuencoded source file and is
written to the current directory (or to the path included in the file
header).

Input files may be any length.

Uuencoded file headers (mailing headers, etc.) need not be removed.
However, any spurious lines between the "begin" and "end" lines MUST
be removed.

Anything beyond the "end" line is ignored.  If no "end" is found, the
output file is saved, but an error message is displayed.

Certain uuencoders append a "checksum" character to the end of each
uuencoded line.  UUDECODE ignores these.

Uuencoded files generated or moved through a Unix system may have LF
(ASCII 10) line endings instead of the DOS-convention CR/LF (ASCII
13/10) endings.  UUDECODE will handle those LF ends of line as well.
you MAY get a "end not found" message, but the uudecoded file will be
intact.

Certain systems and mailers will strip off trailing spaces on lines.
UUDECODE attempts to replace them.

UUDECODE is what you use to decode UUENCODE!

You should get a copy of stuffit expander.  it will open up most files including 
.sit, .uu, .uue, .zip and many more :)

go over to http://oak.oakland.edu and stroll through the simtel archives. or do a 
search for it, but that's too lame ;-)
