I have written both a uuencoder and a uudecoder. I also have versions of both
Arc and Xarc (archiver and extracter), which are ported by Bart Bruns. Arc has
a nasty bug though (chops off the last x bytes of the archive).

You can find them on shiraz as uucode-arc ; you should be able to decode that
file on your BBC, since it is in fact a bootstrap for the complete package,
which i originally made for comp.binaries.acorn .
