Program: UUJoin - join and decode Usenet binary files
Version: 1.01
Author: Mark R. Rinfret
Status: Public Domain
I found myself spending too much time editing, merging and decoding
uuencoded binaries offloaded from the net, so I whipped up this crude
little filter/decoder. It's quite simple and probably could have been done
with awk, but I chose to do it in C. The program, in its current state, is
hardwired for various machine types but is easily altered. See the source
for documentation. Macintosh files are not decoded but are left in BinHex
format. This is format is most easily transported to a Mac system, where
it can be decoded by a program with BinHex capabilities, such as Stuffit,
BinHex5.0, etc.
UUJoin is accessed from the CLI and has the following command format:
UUJoin [options] filespecs...
-amiga - Amiga format
-mac - Macintosh BinHex format (files are not currently decoded)
-pc - PC-Clown format
-r - remove original files when done.
File specifications may be individual filenames or Un*x wildcard
specifications. When using wildcards, be sure to name your files
in such a way that they will sort into the correct sequence, e.g.
program.01 program.02 program.03, etc.
If UUJoin is invoked without options, its usage info is displayed.
UUJoin was implemented using Manx Aztec C V5.0b, but should be easily
ported to other C environments.
Included with uujoin is a program named "xbin", written by Dave Johnson.
This program will allow you to decode the Macintosh BinHex format on your
Amiga, if you so desire. I modified it slightly to get it to compile for
use on the Amiga.
