Subject: Z-80 assembly UUDECODE is available

Many moons ago, back in June sometime, I wrote a Z-80 assembly
version of UUDECODE, and have been trying to get it to SIMTEL20
since then, but I seem to be having trouble getting mail to Kieth
Petersen, so I thought I'd give one more shot at posting it to
the entire net.
 
Send me mail if you would like an encoded (HEX or UU) copy of
the executable by return mail, and send me an 8 inch disk and
return postage if you want the whole library with sources and
such.  The code was written with the SLR tools, so if your
favorite assembler can't handle 16 character names and such you
may need to hack the sources.
 
The program runs 7 times as fast as the PASCAL version on my
S-100 machine, but I have a hard disk cache so I wrote the disk
I/O routines simply, and the program only runs at 50 percent
of the speed of the PASCAL program on my floppies.  I would
guesstimate that the program will run about 10 times the speed
of the PASCAL version on a RAM disk, though I haven't tried it.
Your milage may vary.
 
I know there was some interest in this back in June, but I
haven't been able to get anyone's attention, so I thought
I'd post one final notice to the entire net.  If there's any
interest, I can Email the binary or Snailmail the sources on
an 8 inch 3740 disk (TPTB will have my head if I start mailing
multiple copies of the source libary through our gateway....)
