Thanks Peter.
But that doesn't seem to be my problem either. The version of
openpkg*.src.sh on the server is in Unix format (just \n not \r\n at the end
of every line - so they must have fixed it), and I still get this problem.
In any event, it seems odd because uuencode shouldn't care what the format
(or lack thereof) is of the file it is encoding...
Thanks,
Dennis

This is because the openpkg*.sh (current) file on the ftp server (I have
reported this, but never got my message back from the list) is not a Unix
file, use dos2unix or similar to transform it, and then run it again.
Depending on bash/sh installed it behaves differently.
