Some people have reported a problem assembling the MACRO-32 version of
UUDECODE posted recently; in particular, they get an undefined symbol named
STR$_NOELEM.

My apologies. This program was written using the V5.x documentation, and it
was only later that I discovered that STR$ELEMENT is not present in V4.x. I
fixed that by writing a skeleton version of it, sufficient for my needs, and
including it in the program. It seems that our STARLET.MLB has a definition
in it for STR$_NOELEM (even though we are using V4.7) so I didn't see the
problem.

Basically, to fix the problem just define STR$_NOELEM with any value not
otherwise returned by my replacement routine. The value I use is the V5.x one,
which in decimal is 2392600.

       STR$_NOELEM    =   2392600

Sorry for the confusion.
