This source simply doesn't work for me - it generates all sorts of different
characters at the beginning of encoded lines, rather than the "M" that I see
with most uuencoders.

I finally pulled over the sharutils-4.2 source, got that to build under NT and
then carefully enabled (or disabled) the binary flag on the fopen calls.  It
now seems to work fine - without mucking with mounts or using bash (I prefer
zsh).

Thanks for all the ideas...
