- Since INTERNET runs on UNIX you MAY need to run an uuencoder and
- an uudecoder program to successfully transfer DOS files across the
- Internet. It depends on what Internet program you are using. First
- try sending the Capture the Flag saved game and see if it works. I'm
- told that some of the newer Internet programs handle the uuencoder
- and the uudecoder functions for you automatically.
-
- If it doesn't work that means your Internet program cannot send
- DOS files successfully. Talk to someone who knows Internet. They
- will probably give you the UUENCODE/UUDECODE programs. I'm told
- there are several excellent shareware UUENCODE/UUDECODE programs.
-
- Before you send the saved game type "uuencode -s filename.md1 filename"
- where filename is the 1-8 character name you have given to your saved
- game. For example, if you gave your save game file the name of cblue1
- then you would type "uuencode -s cblue1.md1 cblue1". Then send the
- uuencode file cblue1 (and not the cblue1.md1) to your opponent.
-
- You opponent types "uudecode cblue1" which I'm told recreates the
- cblue1.md1 file. The cblue1.md1 is now ready to be loaded.
