uuencode/uudecode V36.6 by Ralph Seichter.

=======================================================
These tools are FREELY DISTRIBUTABLE. Copying and spreading is encouraged,
as long as you don't charge anyone for giving him / her the tools. Please

Although there are numerous UU-tools around, I failed to find stand-alone
versions which were both reliable and fast, so I decided to write optimized
uuencode and uudecode programs. As they were designed for the Amiga and
the SAS/C 6.3 development system, the source will probably not compile on
other platforms, but there's enough stuff around for non-Amigas. I tested
my tools with MungWall and Enforcer, so there should be no trouble (but I
won't guarantee proper behaviour, of course).
The files uuencode030 and uudecode030 are optimized for Amigas with 68030
CPU (or higher), using them with a smaller CPU will crash your system!
==========
uuencode FROM/A/M,TO/A/K,NOCHECKSUM/S,XCHECKSUM/S
will encode one or more input file(s) to one output file. As a default, a
line checksum will be generated. You can force this line checksum byte to
be 'X' by using the XCHECKSUM switch or suppress it using NOCHECKSUM (which
I personally don't consider a wise thing, the switch was included only for
compatibility reasons).
uuencode foo TO bar
uuencode foo bar yo TO ram:foobaryo NOCHECKSUM
==========
uudecode FROM/A/M,PATH/K,NOCHECKSUM/S
decodes one or more input file(s). If you don't specify an output path, the
current directory will be used. The NOCHECKSUM switch is for compatibility
purposes only and shouldn't be used in most cases. However, some files may
decode ok if you use the switch (like the ones with 'X' line checksums).
uudecode foo
uudecode foo bar yo TO sys:utilities/ NOCHECKSUM
