to the more initiated members of this list, please pardon my
oh-so-prominent ignorance in this post. i am trying to ftp a pkunzip and
uuencode and uudecode program and having absolutely no luck. the pkunzip
programs either freeze up my PC or return an error message. can a fellow
member with more experience than me please point me to where i can
download these files and be assured that they will work?
Also, do I use uuencode while on line or prior to dialing while still in
DOS? Answers to any of these problems will be lifesaving. You may reply
to me directly at : Gregg.Opelka@ala.org. Vsem spasibo. -- gregg o.
