It is a typo for tr -d "\r" to remove the carriage returns. Most versions of uudecode don't like then, especially on the "end" line. IIRC slackware had a "fromdos" program to do it, but tr works just as well for uuencoded data - there are no control characters in the data itself. tr -d "r" shouldn't trash anything, but it won't do what I wanted it to, either. And I tested the whole thing before I put it in the mail wrong. > > Thiago Lawson -- ---oops--- ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
