Oh yes but all opens are done in binary mode.. What I imply is that
opens of binary files (input for uuencode and output for uudecode) must
use binary mode; however opens of text files (output of uuencode and
input of uudecode) should be in text mode, and anyway most surely the
output of uuencode is in text mode, as this is simply stdout, that all C
run-times assume (unless special settings in the environment or your
program) that stdin, stdout and stderr should be opened in text mode...
What properly happens is that at some point uudecode, which read text in
binary mode, get a raw ^M at end of line, and then either go wild or
just stop...
