How to use the uuencode document. The files is a COMPRESSED tar archive which has been uuencoded.
To get it do the followig

        uudecode <file which you have cut out of the digest> (I would change the file name in the begin line to something a little easier, like tarfile.Z)

	uncompress tarfile.Z (or name after the begin line)
	tar xvf tarfile

If you have a new wizbang tar it can do the uncompression on the fly, so you can use that option (-z I think). regards tim
