It is a typo for

tr -d "\r"

to remove the carriage returns.  Most versions of uudecode don't like
then, especially on the "end" line.  IIRC slackware had a "fromdos"
program to do it, but tr works just as well for uuencoded data - there
are no control characters in the data itself.

tr -d "r" shouldn't trash anything, but it won't do what I wanted it to,
either.  And I tested the whole thing before I put it in the mail wrong.
