UUEncoding. A way of sending binary files in text messages. 
Usually discouraged in other echos, but since assembly sources can 
be rather long we use UUE here to try and pack them into a single 
message, preferably 150 lines. Otherwise we are looking at two dozen 
messages and things tend to get lost..
Here's the 'official' decoder/encoder in the form of a DOS batch
file. Very important to call it "uu.bat". Run it and you should
get "uu.zip" and two error messages (ignore them). 
These were written by David Kirschbaum (of Toad Hall) quite some 
time ago. Capture this message and edit out everything but the 
following:
