- Many shells on the Amiga are a wee bit lazy and want to see the I/O
- redirection directly after the command. This is the only difference
- between Unix and amiga versions. Try, therefore the following:
-
- uuencode >newname.uu NameInArchive InputFilename
-
- i.e. uuencode >test.uu TEST test
-
- Work for me. Every time!
