- FastDecode v1.0
- (c) 1995 Carsten Gerlach
-
- Preface
- ~~~~~~~
-
- FastDecode is yet another uudecoding utility. There are lots of those
- programs around, but this one fits my personal needs best :-)
-
- Features of FastDecode:
- . faster than all decoders I know (at least two times faster than UUxT)
- . decodes splitted files, you don't have to join them
- . decodes many files at once
-
- FastDecode needs at least OS2.0.
-
- The program and this documentation is (c) by Carsten Gerlach.
- This is freeware. Send me a gift if you like it ;-)
- You may freely use and distribute it as long as the program and this
- documentation are left unchanged.
-
- No guarantee of any kind is given that the programs described in this
- document are 100% reliable. You are using this material on your own
- risk.

- Usage
- ~~~~~
-
- Usage : FastDecode [-o] file...file
- Options : -o<Path> - sets the output path, i.e. "-oDF0:"
-
- You can specify as many files as you want. FastDecode does no pattern
- matching (this is your shell's job :-)
-
- Example: FastDecode -oRAM: file1.uue file2.uue
- (decodes file1.uue and file2.uue to ram:)

- Hints & Tips
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- If you want to decode splitted files, you don't have to join the parts or
- remove the garbage lines like header information, signatures etc.
- Just specify all parts in the right order, i.e. "FastDecode part1 part2".
- FastDecode can automatically skip lines which contain no uuencoded data.
- Because of that feature you won't get any error messages when you try to
- decode a corrupt file. The only error message you get is when the file size
- doesn't match the file size specified in the "size"-line.
