- REBUILD - Rebuilds the original file as it was UUENCODEd by SIMTEL
- server. It works ONLY if the file was UUENCODEd (maybe
- XXENCODEd also, but I've never tested) and is useful if
- SIMTEL server had to split it in several pieces. See the
- "USAGE" below. REBUILD.AWK is an AWK script with the same
- functionality, but slower, of course !

- USAGE - It is really simple ...
-
- o compile it with default options in MSC 5.0 under MSDOS 3.3
- (you can try another one, it is simple enough to compile)
- or use rebuild.exe if you don't have a C compiler;
- o merge the received splitted files in one (observe its order)
- in your host machine, suppose this one is called MERGED.UUE;
- o transmit it to your PC-clone using kermit or whatever (it is
- still in ASCII mode);
- o execute:
- rebuild < MERGED.UUE > ORIGINAL.UUE if you are using
- the C program or:
- awk -f REBUILD.AWK MERGED.UUE > ORIGINAL.UUE
- if you have AWK in your host/PC.
- o uudecode ORIGINAL.UUE and you'll have the original as it was
- in SIMTEL archives.
- o Now it's your turn to do the job ...
