Hi there.
The uudecode program is provided with most operating systems today, so
we haven't put it in the sipb locker. It's called `uudecode', in
lower case, which is probably why you didn't find it before. (all
uppercase command names like ``UUDECODE'' are common on systems where
DOS is normally used, which is probably why you saw that reference.)
What you want to do is put the uuencoded file somewhere and then just
do:
athena% uudecode filename
it will create a new file when it's done; the name of this file is
determined by the uuencoded file itself (it's the filename on the line
at the top that says `begin...'). Once this is done, you can ditch
the uuencoded file if you want.
