Try mpack and munpack, available at ftp.andrew.cmu.edu:/pub/mpack

>Regards,

Thanks Rick, but after you use mpack, how I can send the encoded file
say via Mail so that Eudora or pine would understand the mail as a
multiple part attachment?

I can only speak for the Unix version of mpack.  Invoking it with a -o
option creats a file with the MIME headers & separators all set up.  In
fact, this file can then be passed to sendmail, specifying a recipient,
as in

   /usr/lib/sendmail [email-masked] < filename

Pine does fine reading a mailed test message formed this way.
