    So what you are telling me is that XXEncode/XXDecode is pointless for
 POSIX type machines, created only for VM/CMS type nets?  As for the claim
 that 'large' networks pour through IBM Mainframes, I thought the majority
 the net was Unix-base?  All in all, I don't sdee anything earth shattering
 about XX.  But here is my question : How can you safely convert a 
 file converted on an 8-bit system (ie. Unix) to the 7-bit Mainframe? (3081)
