-
- 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.
-
-
- UUEncodeX
- ---------
-
- Usage: UUEncodeX [-bX] <infile> <outfile> [NAME] [FLAGS] [NOCHECK]
-
- option -b use only the basename as filename
-
- option -X adds after every encoded line an 'X'
-
- <infile> name of the binary file which must be encoded
-
- <outfile> name of the file which must contain the encoded lines
- of the binary file
-
- [NAME] the name you want to call the binary file after decoding
- (if not given, <infile> is used)
-
- [FLAGS] set a protection mode (Unix style, 000 - 777)
- Default is 644
-
- [NOCHECK] don't add a checksum after each encoded line
-
-
- 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.
-
-
- UUDecodeX
- ---------
-
- Usage: UUDecodeX [-b] [-d <destdir>] <infile> [NOCHECK]
-
- option -b use only the basename of the encoded file
-
- option -d followed by a directory, write the origin file to the
- specified directory
-
- <infile> the name of the encoded file which must be decoded
-
- [NOCHECK] don't check the checksums given after each line (if
- present)
-
-
- You don't have to strip any leading lines added by mailers,
- UUDecodeX will do it himself.
-
- 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?
- -----------------------------
-
- I encode and decode a lot of programs each day. The uucoders I
- had were not fast and the fastest one was larger than 10 kB. And
- i like to program.
