XX Decode for MSDOS

XX Decode for MSDOS

alt.ascii-art · 3 messages · 11 Jun 1994 - 15 Jun 1994
Readers have been asking how to XXdecode files:

For MSDOS what you need is a copy of R.E. Marks' fast multi-section 
UU/XX EN/DEcode program  UUEXE525.ZIP which will decode both XX and 
UU encoded files.                                               ^^^

   
This program is available on the Simtel Archive main mirror site 
oak.oakland.edu:

Directory pub/msdos/decode/
 Filename   Type Length   Date   Description
==============================================
uuexe525.zip  B   32263  930708  R.E. Marks' fast multi-section 
                                              UU/XX EN/DEcode


and also at the Garbo archive in Finland.

          garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/decode/uuexe525.zip       


Many local Bulletin Boards carry copies so you should check your 
local sites first.


To decode an xxencoded file:

    C> uudecode -x filename

How about non-MSDOS? There ARE other computers out there that would like to see those files.

OK. Have a look at the file I have just posted under the title:
