Ralph is right.
One does not need such a complicated script.  UUD will ignore the
parts that it does not need.  It jumps from the "include", past
the mail or news header, and straight to the next "begin" line.
A good command line might be like this: 

	cat somebigf.u?? | uud


Silvert's adaptation of the Dumas' code is great.
Highly recommended.
