Package: os2md -- OS/2 MIME decode
Creator: Rick Curry, trindflo@fishnet.net
Purpose: To provide a reasonably fast decode of a MIME encoded internet
mail message.
To build: See build.cmd: expects IBM CSET/2 compiler and MS assembler.
To use: os2md file <OR>
os2md <file (stdin use)
This package is an IBM CSET/2 C program which uses two assembler
subroutines. The techniques used in the assembler subroutines are
probably portable to other compilers and operating systems, but they
expect CSET register conventions. Portability was definitely sacrificed
in the interest of speed.
Since I do not have a great deal of experience with internet mail,
the mail message decoding is based on my internet provider's format.
Source code is provided and I would not be surprised if the program
needs to be screwdrivered to make it more general. I would be very much
interested in hearing what changes were needed so that a more general
version can be developed. The basic decode logic is based on
debase64.cmd by James L. Dean.
