Okay, okay.  I already did some work to find the right shell and
stuff.  It seems logical to extend this to find the right uuencode
syntax.  Hm.

Can you all do "uudecode --version 2>/dev/null ; echo $?" and tell me
what you see?

On Solaris 2.6, I get exit status 2, and I have to use the "-p" thing.
On Linux, I get a line saying GNU sharutils and exit status 0, and I
have to use the "-o -" thing.  Don't have access to FreeBSD at the
moment.  Don't have access to HP-UX, AIX, A/UX, Irix at all.  So if
this is sufficient, then I can add stuff to the connection setup which
determines the uudecode version and then selects the right syntax to
use.  Good.
