    To all Netters:

            About a month ago, I posted a request for the uuencode/uudecode
    and  arc  programs.   So  far  I have heard nothing.  Many programs are
    posted in a form that I cannot use.  Some of these sound  great  and  I
    think  that  I would like to have them.  But, I cannot do anything with
    them without help.  I am the system administrator  for  a  UNIX  system
    running  5.2.4.   I  also  have  an  AT&T  PC6300.  What I need are the
    programs and the instructions to take a  downloaded  program  from  the
    encrypted  form  and get it into a form that the PC will understand.  I
    currently have a program that will transfer data from my UNIX system to
    the  PC  and  ARC  5.1 on the PC.  I must need a different ARC program,
    because the files that are posted as ARC files are not readable by  the
    PC.  Do I need ARC on the UNIX side?  Are uuencode/uudecode run on UNIX
    or on the PC or both?  Can anyone out there help me?
