- UUCoderWin version 1.00

-
- What are UUCoders?
- ------------------
-
- UUCoders are used to send a binary file via uucp or other
- electronic mail systems.
-
- There are two kind of uucoders, one to encrypt a binary file
- so that the output will only contain printable characters so it
- can be placed in a message area. This is called uuencoding.
-
- The other one decrypts an uuencode't file to it's binary
- origin. This is called uudecoding.
-
-
-
- How to use UUCoderWIN
- ---------------------
- Below, you'll see the User-Interface for UUCoderWindow. In my opinion
- it's very easy to handle. Some functions are also available with shortcuts.

- OX = GetFile for Infile and Outfile Use.
- StringGadgets = Infile, Outfile, Name, DestinationDirectory, Flags.
-
- CheckBoxes = NoCheck, BinAsFilename, Xadd.
- ButtonGadgets = Encode, Decode.

-
- UUEncodeX
- =========
- Options available for UUEncodeX are:
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- BinAsFilename use only the basename as filename.
- XAdd adds after every encoded line an 'X'.
-
- <N>ame the name you want to call the binary file after decoding
- (if not given, <infile> is used)
-
- <F>lags set a protection mode (Unix style, 000 - 777)
- Default is 644
-
- NOCHECK don't add a checksum after each encoded line
-
-
- Arguments should be given:
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- <I>nfile name of the binary file which must be encoded
-
- <O>utfile name of the file which must contain the encoded lines
- of the binary file
-
-
- UUEncodeX places a filesize at the end of the encoded file which
- can be used by decoding as a check.
-
- If the output-file already exists, UUEncodeX will ask you if you
- want to overwrite it (still have some problems to recognize the task).
-
-
-
- UUDecodeX
- =========
- Options available for UUDecodeX are:
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- BinAsFilename use only the basename of the encoded file
- DestinationDirector<y> followed by a directory, write the origin file
- to the specified directory
-
- NOCHECK don't check the checksums given after each line (if present)
-
-
- Arguments should be given:
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- <I>nfile the name of the encoded file which must be decoded
-
-
- File/Devicenames with spaces, should written in "..."
-
- UUDecodeX can handle encoded files which have checksums, 'X'
- terminated lines or not. Any combination of these two options are
- handled perfectly by UUDecodeX.
-
- If a size is given at the end of the encoded file UUDecodeX
- will check if this matches with the size of the binary file it
- decoded.
-
-
-
- Why did I made this programs?
- -----------------------------
-
- In the past, I had to encode and decode lot of programs. But the
- CLI/SHELL was not the way to do it. In this time, I decided to create a
- UserInterface for the CLI/Shell commands UUEncodeX and UUDecodeX written
- by Michel Bekker. Now, it's possible to handle the UUCrunchers very easy
- and quickly.
-
-
- Bugs!
- -----
- I decided not to patch the original UUcoded file. So If you try to decode
- a file that always exists, you'll get in trouble.
- BE CAREFUL TO DECODE ON EXISTING FILES !!
