- Short: Attach/Error-checker for UUencoded mails with pascal source.

- What is it?
- -----------
- It is a utility for attaching and error checking separate UUencoded mails
- in a single capture file. Note that it is not a UUdecoder! You may use it to
- easily attach some uuencoded mails which are stored in a capture file mixed
- with other texts (e.g. Terminus capture files or the like) and if exist
- some nasty errors in the uuencodes, ShirUUX will address it properly.
- Finially a file with the extension of "_OK" is generated which "uudecode" may
- can decode it.
-
- Requirements:
- ------------
- Only you must have OS 2+ for the ASL and ASL.library itself. Also the file
- "uudecode" must be in "C:".
- "ShirUUX" is tested to work correctly on A1200 and must work
- on any box named Amiga.
-
- Features:
- ---------
- It uses ASL requester, checks only for default uuencode settings of FTP
- sites. Stops just when reaches an error, the error is generated when the
- number of lines per mail and per part are not ok.
-
- How to use it:
- --------------
- simply double click the icon and an asl requester is poped up. enter the
- path/file of the capture file containing the uuencoded mails. Note that
- they *Must* be in correct ordering i.e. the sequence of mails must be
- correct because ShirUUX does not check for this (maybe in next versions
- does!). Also note that the capture file must contain only one uuencode
- file. The possible error message is self explenatory and it that case you
- can refer to the error line and get the erroneous mail again from your
- site. A file named "out" is created on ram disk: which tells more about the
- error. It will list the number of lines beginning with "M" and length of
- 62.

-
- Document:
- ---------
- Sorry, but so small and simple to document more.
-
- Why and How:
- ------------
- This software is programmed in Kick-Pascal. I had several searches for some
- active pascal programmers on Amiga, but could not find any!
-
- Anyway I always had trouble with uuencoded mails in acapture file, some
- times for nasty reasons the connection to my site is cut and I get screwed
- if I had been recieving uuencodes, so it is very possible to have distorted
- or erroneous data or some replicas of data in the final capture file.
- Most of uudecoders do not distinguish this problem and generate erroneous
- archives. Checking and addressing the problem is very hard and get many
- time.
-
- About Pascal:
- -----------
- Most people say that pascal is dead or is not good for system programing,
- but I don't believe that. I think pascal is better than AMOS or BASIC or
- some other languges which do not seem to be dead. I think pascal is oppressed
- just like the Amiga.
-
- I have developed many usefull units for Kick-Pascal. The coolest one is
- a unit called "Vijegan.Unit". This unit is a very versatile, easy to use
- GUI maker for pascal. You can program for this unit in a
- special, but easy to understand script language and create any groups of
- gadgets and windows in any form and color. Then save this script file
- somewhere and in pascal only write:
-
- ==========================
- Uses Vijegan;
- begin
- read_script("you gui script file");
- end.
- ==========================
-
- After that there are many functions which let you easily control those windows
- and gadgets in any desired fashion.... ;-)
-
- If you are interested please contact me or get "Vijegan.lha" from Aminet
- when available. I would like to see some ppl interested and work together.
- I have developed it so that one can program a GUI editor for it using
- itself! but I have not enough time to do that.
