UUencoding a File using WinZip

WinZip® UUencodes Zip files for mailing, so you must choose and open an existing Zip file to encode or create a new one.

• If the file is already archived as a Zip file, open it in WinZip using your favorite method.
• If the file(s) you wish to send are not already archived, use WinZip to create a Zip file, and leave the program open for the next step.
• Click the Actions menu item, and choose UUencode.

A UUencoded file has been created from your Zip file. For example, you will find a TESTFILE.UUE file in the same folder along with your original TESTFILE.ZIP.
