As you'll note, I asked Marshall Rose for a reference and he 
suggested that you may be able to help.  We have found UUENCODE and
UUDECODE in the interim.  If you can help re: the MIME spec and a 
DOS-based converter, I would greatly appreciate it.

I work for the Department of Commerce, NOAA.  The reason for contacting you is
that we have a current project to develop an E-mail hub for interchange 
between X.400 over SprintNet, Banyan E-mail, VMSmail on a VAX, SMTP, and 
cc:Mail.  Our core system is PMDF from InnoSoft Int'l which includes, in the 
4.1 incarnation, MIME translation.  As one of the movers and shakers of the 
TCP/IP-Internet community, and more importantly as a major protocol architect,
I'm hoping you may be able to point me in the direction of (A) the MIME spec,
and (B) someone who has developed a MIME translator for the DOS-based world.  
If you also have a reference for someone who has ported UUENCODE/UUDECODE over
to DOS, I would also appreciate that information.
