1845.0. "Desparately need help with UUENCODE" by RAVEN1::EVERHART () Wed Nov 02 1988 16:07
Not too long ago, I posted a request for help with UUENCODE.
I don't have any problem making the program run, but for some reason,
all of the versions I have tried munge the code at the end. I am
running UUENCODE on VMS. It runs fine, but yields a non-standard
record type. Then, when I mail the code to another computer, and
try to decode it, I get the error "short file." And, parts of the
code are twisted around. The mailing is definitely not the problem
since ZOO2.00, which was already encoded worked just fine through
the mail. Can anyone out there supply me with a VMS UUENCODE that
definitely works, or figure out what I am doing wrong? Perhaps
I need to set something in the terminal characteristic, although
I doubt that. This really puzzles me, and I have lots of stuff
I'd like to mail to my Clemson account for downloading. (Long distance
to download from here) Thanks in advance for any help.

| 1845.2 | probably RMS record attributes | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Wed Nov 02 1988 16:58 | 6 |
| I don't have a working version of UUENCODE, but I can guess what
the problem is. Probably the UUENCODE you've got is not setting
the record attributes of its output file correctly for VMS. It
should be setting the attributes to variable length records,
CR carriage control.

| Look for blank lines in the middle of the uuencoded file. The only
blank line allowed is just before the 'end' line, and that's not
always there.

| 1845.4 | Works for me! | LOWLIF::DAVIS | That's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE! | Thu Nov 03 1988 10:06 | 5 |
| It works fine for me. You can grab my copies of UUEN/DECODE from:
MDKCSW::DUA2:[DAVIS.AMIGA.TOOLS]UU*.*

| 1845.5 | What happened to .1?? | RAVEN1::EVERHART | | Thu Nov 03 1988 17:10 | 7 |
| I've checked everything except the suggestion in .4. I am going
to take a "matched set of UUENCODE/UUDECODE" from MDKCSW and see
if I can make it work. Perhaps my UUDECODE is a buggy or old version??
If this doesn't work, I'll come back for more help.

| 1845.6 | Thanks!!!! | RAVEN1::EVERHART | | Fri Nov 04 1988 13:28 | 8 |
| FINALLY! I have solved the problem! My version of UUDECODE was
apparently VERY old, and was unable to handle some of the quirks
about mail posting. I now have a new version, and I have so far
decoded 3 things I was not able to decode before. I want to thank
everyone for their suggestions in this. THANKS!
