Why does a web page use uuencode? I thought uuencode was only for email and
binary newsgroups. Which uudecode did you use? Did you use the same uudecode
in each case?
I have found downloading with Arachne to be a nuisance, trying to fish for the
download file cryptically named in the cache. DOSLYNX 386 is much nicer, you
just type d on the link, and after downloading, are prompted for the path and
file name to save to. When I downloaded DOSLYNX 386 from
http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/
the download .zip file included a null packet driver. Is there a different one?
