Hi!  I am totally new to the world of DOS and little endian processors, though
I have worked a bit with other computers :-)

As my second djgpp/gcc compiled program, I compiled uudecode from the BSD
distribution.  It does not produce the correct output.  I am not exactly
certain what it is producing, though it is a little larger than the expected
results.

With all the shifts and what not that goes on in uudecode, I thought that
this program might be a victim of little endian-ness.  Before trying to
figure out how to debug this, it seemed that if this is the case, someone 
else has surely tackled uudecode, and would know whats up.

(I am using 1.10 if that makes any difference)

Thanks!
Mark M.
