- Wincode is a Windows 3.1 program (written in Turbo Pascal for
- Windows) which converts ASCII files to BINARY files (and vice
- versa) through a process known as uucoding. This allows a user to
- transmit binary files through e-mail (or any other ascii-based
- communications system) by first converting the files to ascii and
- then having the receiver of the files re-convert them to binary.
- Many NewsGroups (on the Internet) utilize this practice (it is common
- on UNIX-based systems).
-
- I wrote this program for my own needs but I am releasing it to
- the public as FREEWARE...yes, you don't have to pay for it...just
- use it. I hope others find it as useful as I do and if so, drop
- me a line at the address(es) in the HELP file.
-
- Features (brief):
- - Full featured Windows 3.1 program
- - Drag and Drop support! (use for batch en/de-coding)
- - Fully configurable
- - It's FREE...
-
- Requirements:
- - IBM compatible running DOS 3.1 or higher
- - 286 or higher processor with at least 2MB memory
- - Windows 3.1 running in standard or enhanced mode
- - 85K of disk space (~65K for Wincode, ~20K for
- HELP file)
-
-
- Running Wincode:
-
- To run this program, copy the files WINCODE.EXE and WINCODE.WRI
- to a directory of your choice (I use C:\UTIL\WINCODE). Start Windows
- and either install WINCODE.EXE as an icon (see the WINCODE.WRI file
- or your Windows manuals) or use Program Manager's FILE|RUN option to
- run Wincode (type in the full path of WINCODE.EXE). If you have the
- Windows WRITE program in your Windows directory (WRITE is a word
- processing program that is included with Windows 3.1), then select the
- HELP|GETTING STARTED... option in Wincode for a complete explanation
- of how to configure and run the program. Otherwise, use WRITE (or any
- other text viewer) to view WINCODE.WRI manually. Have Fun...
