Yep. The explanation of just *how* UUE was mapping the binary
material into printable characters flew right over my head for the
most part though ;-)
As far as
header part of it can be added to *any* other UUE file and get a
recompilation of the original file?
-----------------------[...some time later...]-----------------------
Hey it works! I took a comfile of a completely different size,
created a UUE file from it, added the debug script header to the
result and it recompiled just great! First I had to go through the
UUE created file and strip the
and of course you don't use the 'begin 664' or the 'end' statement
lines either. But after editing that stuff out what ya get is a self-
reconstructing debug script for the original file that is quite a bit
smaller than it would otherwise be. I am going to try this with some
other files and see if this is reliable in all cases.
-----------------------[...much later still...]----------------------
Hmmm, I got down and tried my hand at writing something up that
will convert a file produced by UUE11.COM into a debug script. The
results are in the next three messages so pound that enter key now!
