Excuse me, but just for future reference how does one uuencode and
split durring anonymous ftp?  (ftp severs seem fairly smart, so I'm
sure it can be done, but I wouldn't have a clue how.)

Lets say for example I'm doing the following

% ftp sunsite.unc.edu
ftp> cd /pub/Linux/SLS
ftp> binary
ftp> <What goes here?> a3.Z
ftp> quit


                               Bill

P.S. Please don't cross post to so many newsgroups.
