- Although there are numerous UU-tools around, I failed to find stand-alone
- versions which were both reliable and fast, so I decided to write optimized
- uuencode and uudecode programs. As they were designed for the Amiga and
- the SAS/C 6.3 development system, the source will probably not compile on
- other platforms, but there's enough stuff around for non-Amigas. I tested
- my tools with MungWall and Enforcer, so there should be no trouble (but I
- won't guarantee proper behaviour, of course).
-
- The files uuencode030 and uudecode030 are optimized for Amigas with 68030
- CPU (or higher), using them with a smaller CPU will crash your system!

- ==========
-
- uuencode FROM/A/M,TO/A/K,NOCHECKSUM/S,XCHECKSUM/S
-
- will encode one or more input file(s) to one output file. As a default, a
- line checksum will be generated. You can force this line checksum byte to
- be 'X' by using the XCHECKSUM switch or suppress it using NOCHECKSUM (which
- I personally don't consider a wise thing, the switch was included only for
- compatibility reasons).
-
- uuencode foo TO bar
- uuencode foo bar yo TO ram:foobaryo NOCHECKSUM
-
- ==========
-
- uudecode FROM/A/M,PATH/K,NOCHECKSUM/S
-
- decodes one or more input file(s). If you don't specify an output path, the
- current directory will be used. The NOCHECKSUM switch is for compatibility
- purposes only and shouldn't be used in most cases. However, some files may
- decode ok if you use the switch (like the ones with 'X' line checksums).
-
- uudecode foo
- uudecode foo bar yo TO sys:utilities/ NOCHECKSUM
