Manage Excel and Word files in HP-UX

[ahmad nasser osman]

My server need to handle a lot of Excel and Word files wordwide. How do I send the files to Windows-XP without need to uudecode them, i.e. the file will be placed in an attachments in Outlook and the user just simply double click them. The std syntax:

uuencode file.xls file.xls|els -s "Excel file" foo@foo.com

will requires a uudecode is performed on the attachment before the file can be opened. Any idea or script that can handle this task?

thanx a lot.
