I think that would only be a workaround... and a potentially unsafe one, as the files could still be not around (or have been accidentally deleted or similar), especially also in normal userspace. POSIX is quite clear, that for uudencode/uudecode "/dev/stdout" is NOT a file, that should cause the data to be printed to stdout... but a special symbol. So AFAIU, uuencode/uudecode should never even check whether these files exist Cheers, Chris.
