README.TXT this file
Wincode is a Windows 3.1 program (written in Turbo Pascal for
Windows) which converts ASCII files to BINARY files (and vice
versa) through a process known as uucoding. This allows a user to
transmit binary files through e-mail (or any other ascii-based
communications system) by first converting the files to ascii and
then having the receiver of the files re-convert them to binary.
Many NewsGroups (on the Internet) utilize this practice (it is common
on UNIX-based systems).
I wrote this program for my own needs but I am releasing it to
the public as FREEWARE...yes, you don't have to pay for it...just
use it. I hope others find it as useful as I do and if so, drop
me a line at the address(es) in the HELP file.
Features (brief):
- Full featured Windows 3.1 program
- Drag and Drop support! (use for batch en/de-coding)
- SMART decoding (see HELP file for more details)
- Fully configurable
- It's FREE...
Requirements:
- IBM compatible running DOS 3.1 or higher
- 286 or higher processor with at least 2MB memory
- Windows 3.1 running in standard or enhanced mode
- 123K of disk space (~90K for Wincode, ~33K for
the HELP file)
Running Wincode:
To run this program, copy the files WINCODE.EXE and WINCODE.HLP
to a directory of your choice (I use C:\UTIL\WINCODE). Start Windows
and either install WINCODE.EXE as an icon (see the WINCODE.HLP file
or your Windows manuals) or use Program Manager's FILE|RUN option to
run Wincode (type in the full path of WINCODE.EXE). When you have
Wincode running, chose HELP|CONTENTS and read the help file for
information on running and configuring Wincode. Have Fun...
***DELETE ANY PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF WINCODE.INI***
(I suggest reading the ENTIRE Help file since it *fully* explains all
of Wincode's options)
