I'm mailing you the C source to uudecode.  I've never had any trouble with this
version.

 * Modified 12 April 1990 by Mark Adler for use on MSDOS systems with
 * Microsoft C and Turbo C.
 *
 * Modifed 13 February 1991 by Greg Roelofs for use on VMS systems.  As
 * with the MS-DOS version, the setting of the file mode has been disabled.
 * Compile and link normally (but note that the shared-image link option
 * produces a binary only 6 blocks long, as opposed to the 137-block one
 * produced by an ordinary link).  To set up the VMS symbol to run the
 * program ("run uudecode filename" won't work), do:
 *		uudecode :== "$disk:[directory]uudecode.exe"
 * and don't forget the leading "$" or it still won't work.  The binaries
 * produced by this program are in VMS "stream-LF" format; this makes no
 * difference to VMS when running decoded executables, nor to VMS unzip,
 * but other programs such as zoo or arc may or may not require the file
 * to be "BILFed" (or "unBILFed" or whatever).  Also, unlike the other
 * flavors, VMS files don't get overwritten (a higher version is created).
 *
 * Modified 13 April 1991 by Gary Mussar to be forgiving of systems that
 * appear to be stripping trailing blanks.
