Batch UUD Version 2.60 for DOS
by Jeff Lee
* Denotes a new feature for 2.6x and bug fixes!
New To Version 2.6x!!
---------------------
* UUD can now handle files that have been split MORE THAN ONCE!! This
includes those split by the AMERICA ON-LINE E-MAIL GATEWAY!! See DOCS
for information on this special switch
* Support for MIME encoded files, detected AUTOMATICALLY
* Support for an unlimited amount of files in a directory! (Before had a 999
number of files limit). Limited only by amount of Conventional memory.
* Keyboard break-out for those rare moments when UUD hangs (Ctrl-C)
* Faster decoding! (average increase in speed is around 1 second)
* Can now decode files ANYWHERE on ANY drive!! No longer does it have to
be in the current directory!
* Fixed Output Directory bug
* Fixed several other bugs
New To Version 2.xx!!
---------------------
* Fixed bug that stopped UUD from completely UUDecoding some files
* Fixed bug that did not allow some Appended files to decode properly
* Fixed spacing
- Reports offset so you know where UUD when dealing with Appended files
* Fixed even more bugs... I think its almost bugless.
* Fixed bug that caused UUD to freeze up once in a while
- Vast internal restructuring for a little faster DECODING
- A simple configuration file that can be used to set default switches and
files on startup
- New switch and argument to specify where the files should be decoded to
* UUD no longer requires each section to have a BEGIN or SECTION line, it
can start off with a UU or XXEncoded line as long as it has proper header
information (part/of info and filename)
* Fixed a couple of deeply buried bugs
Features
--------
- Fairly Quick UUDecoding, XXDecoding, and MIME Decoding
- Wild Cards usage for easier decoding. No more UUdecoding one file at a time
- Handles split file with ease using a STATE OF THE ART parsing system. No
matter what order the files are in, no more what their filenames,
UUD can almost always find the next proper file.
- Automatically detect and handle XXEncoded, UUEncoded, or MIME encoded
files. No user intervention necessary!
- Accepts appended files! By creating "virtual" files out of each
appended file, it can mix and match between individual and appended files!
- Handles files split by the America On-Line E-mail gateway!
- Smart scanning reduces file searching time by recording the "part"
information while it scans
- A Simple configuration file that can be used to set default switches and
files on startup
- Color coded status reports for ease of use
- UUD forces the user to rename the file if it is not in the proper DOS
format
PLEASE NOTE
-----------
Versions come out fairly quickly, usually at least once every other month.
Check one of the download sights often.
