ns_uuencode in AOLserver Tcl 8.x is broken. Vinod Kurup has worked out a patch with Rob Mayoff which we'd hoped would be included in a future AOL3.3+ad14 patchset. Unfortunately aD has no interest in AOLserver and keeps Rob very busy with other tasks, so apparently this
patchset isn't going to happen.
There have been some discussions among Vinod and "the gatekeepers" about whether or not we should bite the bullet and provide a download of AOL3.3+ad13+oacs1(+nsvhr?) for our user base but we've not decided.
There are benefits obviously but we also aren't terribly thrilled about further balkanization.
Vinod ran into this when working on acs-mail, since attachments must be uuencoded. He fixed acs-mail to properly handle attachments (as inherited from aD it didn't) then ran into the ns_uuencode wall, decided to learn C and to some degree AOLserver internals, and figured
out how to fix it (with some help from Rob).
Vinod rocks :)
