Uuencode, base64 and the like are really for binary files. If you use them for ascii files you have to worry about the CR/LF stuff yourself.
It's the same kinda thing that happens with binary verses ascii mode in ftp.
I have posted a script that can be used for this stuff. A recent thread by jwperry resulted in an improvement to the script. I have just edited the posted script to incorporate the improvement.
Here is my script.
If you must use uuencode, you need to use that uxix2dos program first. But bear in mind that this expands the file to be transferred by more than 33% and consumes cpu time on both ends. That's a lot of work just to introduce this problem.

vttest
VTTEST(1) General Commands Manual VTTEST(1)
NAME
vttest - test VT100-type terminal
SYNOPSIS
vttest [options] [24x80.132]
DESCRIPTION
Vttest is a program designed to test the functionality of a VT100 terminal (or emulator thereof). It tests both display (escape sequence
handling) and keyboard.
The program is menu-driven and contains full on-line operating instructions.
- To run a given menu-item, you must enter its number.
- Menu items start at zero; this is the "Exit" item in almost all cases.
- You can run all menu-items (for a given level) by entering an asterisk, i.e, `*'.
- You can force a repaint of the menu items by entering "?".
- A few menus can be more than one page. Use "n" and "p" to switch to the next or previous page.
OPTIONS
You can specify the screen geometry in the form [24x80.132], i.e., 24 lines, 80 minimum columns, 132 maximum columns. If your terminal
does not switch between 80 and 132 columns you may specify 24x80.80, for example, to avoid a misleading display.
Other options are:
-f file
specify a file containing a DRCS (soft character definition) string.
-l log test results to vttest.log.
-p use padding, e.g., for a VT100 connected to a high-speed line.
-s add time-delay in selected panning/scrolling options to show details.
-8 use 8-bit controls (this can be changed with a menu option).

Modified by Thomas Dickey from June 1996, to support nonstandard screen geometry, VT220-VT520, ISO color and xterm-specific tests.
