Generating UUDECODE and UUENCODE from Text Files.
 
Binary files, such as programs or images, cannot be sent directly over the
Internet by email. They must first be converted to text files. The program
UUENCODE carries out this conversion, and the program UUDECODE regenerates
the original files.
 
As these programs are themselves normally binary, they cannot be sent by email.
This problem can be overcome by means of the following text files.

      UUDECODE.1ST  This file.
      UUDECODE.BAS  A Basic version of UUDECODE.
      UUDECODE.DOC  Documentation for UUDECODE and UUENCODE.
      UUENCODE.UUE  A uuencoded version of UUENCODE.

Use a Basic interpreter to generate UUDECODE.COM from UUDECODE.BAS. E.g.
      QBASIC /RUN UUDECODE.BAS
Then uudecode UUENCODE.UUE to generate UUENCODE.COM:
      UUDECODE UUENCODE.UUE
