Subject: UUencode files in Newsgroups

Is there anyway to translate UUencode files from newsgroups?  I'm using 
Pine 3.91 on a unix shell account, and there are several binary files 
that I have downloaded, but I have no way of translating them.

If anyone knows of a translation utility or if it can be done in Pine 
please tell me.

Thanks

	Well, I see you are using pine on SCO.  I'm not very familiar
with SCO but I believe it has "uudecode" on the system.

	If it does have uudecode, you simply enable use of the "pipe"
command in pine and then pipe the article to uudecode.

    uuENcoded files are decoded with uuDEcode.  Do a  which uudecode
command to see in uudecode is on your system and in your path.
Otherwise, ask your sysadmin or help desk.  uuENcode and uuDEcode
sinmply reverse each other.
