You make me nostalgic. Reminds me of the times when I used to use elm and pine as my email software. I remember using uuencode to encode the files, and sending them like a normal text file. The receiver then had to save the email as an ascii text, and use uudecode to retrieve the attachment. Sigh!!!!

We will try compress. Mark Richard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: RWB is correct - and the good news is that WinZip (a likely program at the destination of your email) handles tar-ed and compress-ed files fine. Of course it may pay to add the .zip extension to the filename so that the mail client knows what to do with it.

Gzip is a GNU utility that may be on your system. These utilities may not be in your current path.
