how do I convert files which are in the "begin - ascii text - end" form

[John Miller]

Sorry to be so ignorant, but people are putting ".com" and ".exe"
files into a special format for the purpose of transmisson. The form is:



begin 644 doggie.com
M_+P``:$"`(S+*\/VQ/!T!;C__^L$L033X*/Y(RT4*G(%/0`!<RRZ6"/IN@#[
		.
		.
		.
end

How do I make this an executable file again?
