VERSION V01.07
`SplUU', a UUEncoding file splitter, for email.
(c)1993 Psilocybe Systems Inc.
email: wyrd@ministry.demon.co.uk
Whassit do then?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK folks, here's the worlds greatest utility ever. No, really.
It takes a file and UUEncodes it, and then it cuts it up in 2000
line blocks. It also gives each block a header and a tail, which
proclaim:
----------- Start of block, numbered 1 of 5 files. -----------
And also:
------------ End of block, numbered 1 of 5 files. ------------
Good, eh? Well, I thought so.
Syntax for use:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
spluu [-?] | <[UUEncoded]file> <output_file> [-a] [-d] [-e]
The -a flag will, if set, make SplUU overwrite any existing files
which share the same filename as <output_file>.
The -d flag will, if set, make SplUU delete the <[UUEncoded]file>
after the output files have been written.
The -e flag will, if set, make SplUU assume that the <[UUEncoded]file>
has been previously UUEncoded, and will try to split it without attempting
to UUEncode.
Example use:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Given a pre-UUEncoded file called `testfile.uue', we could:
spluu testfile.uue outfile -a -d -e
This would create NN number of files, depending on the length of the
input file, in the format:
outfile.NN
Note that `testfile.uue' will have been deleted, due to the `-d' flag
being set. Also, if there were any existing files with filenames such
as `outfile.01' they will have been overwritten without any warning
messages given, due to the `-a' flag being set. The `-e' flag is set
to prevent SplUU from trying to UUEncode the input file, which had
already been UUEncoded.
Known Bugs

Future plans
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, I'd like to make it a bit faster. And get it to interact
with email somehow. And give it an ARexx port. And lots of
other things.

Cool people at Demon Internet Systems who pointed me in the right
direction. Nico Francois and Jaba Development, without whom I would
never had bothered to learn anything about Intuition. Ozric Tentacles
for the trippy head sounds, Henry Rollins for the angst and Nymphs
for the tragedy. #wiccans for putting up with me, and most of all,
an owl. :)
