    Well.. have you (at least) heard about the ftp-mail servers?


    When requested, the ftp-mail servers UUencodes and sends files from any
specified ftp site through your e-mail account. -- easy, uh?

    You know.. with Internet growing up faster than the cables around the
World can support, ftping is a total pain, so the ftp-mail servers could (at
principle) solve this to fast-local e-mail download.


    The problem of ftp-mail is that most (all?) of this servers breaks the
UU file into 50-100k-sized e-mail parts..
    It means around 100 separated e-mails for a 5Mb file!

    Are you ready for joining it manually??? (AARGHHH!!!!)



    So here it comes UU-Aglutinate: it scans the Yam:Incoming directory,
join the (complete) UU messages in one per file and, after all, it deletes
those 50-100k files. -- Life is sweet now!

    No previous configuration, no askings from program.. Just click and it
makes all the job.



    EASY SAYING THAN PROGRAMMING! -- you would be suprised how a such simple
thing can be complex and boring to program.
    The Pascal source listing is around 600 lines (and no
bulky-dumb-programmed-redundant routines).



 Enjoy!
