The files included in this archive are based loosely on the file "UUdecode.LZH" which is found on a variety of Fish disks. They have been updated by Matt Dillon, Michael Smith, and Chris Hinds Genly. They were originally based, I believe, on PD sources posted to comp.sources.unix, but the trail is very muddy. They have been included in several releases of the AmigaUUCP package.
