Greetings
 
I am trying to send various MPE files (mainly print files) as attachments
 
to MS Exchange e-mail recipients.
 
I do this:-
 
1.  :run cr2crlf.ccx;info="ql testx"
2.  :run /bin/uuencode;info="TESTX textx.txt" > texte
3.  :mail [log in to unmask] HP3000 "Here it is" texte
 
 
1. cr2crlf.ccx adds 0A 0D (LF and CR) to the end of each line in <ql> and
creates <testx>
2. uuencodes <testx> as <testx.txt> and creates the file <texte>
3. invokes Jim Wowchuck's jtmailp and sends it to an internet type
address
 
It all works very well, BUT step 2. (the uuencode) runs forever!
Glance tell me that it is very heavy on disk access.
 
If I run uuencode from within the Posix shell, it is like lightening:-
 
   /AMED/DEV> /bin/uuencode TESTX testxn > ttt
 
 
 
So, my question is, why is it so slow from the MPE prompt, and how canb I
speed it up (from within a command file).
 
Thanks in Advance
