Since several of you pointed me in the right direction, I have found that uudeview is one of the ports in the FreeBSD distribution and, as previously stated, mpack and munpack are found in Debian. Those two utilities appear to be installed when you build a normal installation of Debian. The uudeview utility is part of the FreeBSD ports collection which is similar to all the Redhat RPM's and the Debian .deb packages. I installed the uudeview package because I use FreeBSD at work and hit it with a message somebody had sent that had about 4 pdf documents in it. It extracted them all in about half a second. Sure beats manually looking for them. It also gave them their correct file names so I didn't even have to think about that. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
