If you do a:

The output indicates that sharutils is the package that contains uudecode.

Hi Jonathan.
I use a Avance Logic card in my Win95 box (I doubt that'll help, but listen
anyway). The unfortunate problem I had was that I needed specific drivers
for it - I'd give up if you are going to try to use it for X-windows I
think. Unless there's a specific driver in X for it.
Thanks
