- Someone wrote a Rexx implementation of the UUDE/EN-Code stuff.
- Don't remember where I saw it (maybe on hobbes?).
-
- In any event, you can do bit manipulation in rexx pretty easily
- (using bitand(), bitor(), bitxor(), b2x(), x2c(), etc.), so I
- don't think it would be too hard to do in Rexx, though it
- certainly wouldn't perform as well as 'C' code.
-
- No doubt though, the 'C' version of the UUde/enCode stuff is
- more terse than one in Rexx would be ...
