UUDecode
This program decodes uuencoded files. To uudecode a file just drag it
onto the icon on the iconbar. A save box will appear from which you can drag
the uudecoded file. If you click on the Ok box without editting the filename
the uudecoded file will be stored in the directory where the encoded file was
dragged from.
If you are trying to decode a multi-part uuencoded file all the parts
must be in the same directory. Make sure the filenames are correct though.
I have extended the syntax of uuencoded files to allow filetypes to
be preserved. A line Filetype: <filetype> may appear before the table line
(or the begin line if there is no table). Filetypes may be either text or
numerical (with the optional & infront). So, for example, the following
are all equivalent
Filetype: &FFF
Filetype: fff
Filetype: Text
Although the later is the most understandable form I recomend that it is only
used with filetypes which are always known (text, data, obey, etcetera). For
example if you use Filetype: DrawFile and !Draw has not been sent then the
filetype will be unable to be recognised and the filetype of the last
uudecode (or Text if this the first uudecode) will be used. This line is
added automatically by my uuencoder.
Credit must go to Phil Colmer (Fil, at Acorn) for his help in fixing
some minor bugs and making one minor alteration to the operation of the
program. These are documented in the source.
The final I thing I have to say about this program is sorry for the
really corny sprite (two sheep - think about it). If you can't work it out
there are rams and .... ?
Although I have tested this program fairly thoroughly I offer no
guarentee what so ever. But please report any bugs found to
pmf@uk.ac.warwick.cs.
This program is in the public domain and may be freely copied as
long as no charges are made for it and this file is left unchanged. I
normally allow people to use the source in their own programs as long as I am
creditted but as the program has been modified by Phil Colmer I cannot grant
permission for this by myself. if you want to use this source in your own
program ask me and I shall ask Phil Colmer if he objects (I doubt he would
but you should always ask).
Yours,
Ian Ashley
