Re: XPL stuff



This is just a reminder that UU-encoding often fails to withstand
passage across certain platforms, which routinely happens during
e-mail transmission. On the other hand, XX-encoded files do fine, and
XX-encoding can generally be done with the same utility. If
there is an argument for preferring UU-encoding, I have yet to
hear it.
