Short: Base 85 uuencode replacement
Author: flavio@iestn.inet.it (Flavio Stanchina)
Uploader: flavio@iestn.inet.it (Flavio Stanchina)
Version: 37.20
Type: util/arc
FSCode was born to be a more efficient replacement for uuencode;
it's purpose is to encode a binary file (for example, an executable
or an archive such as those made by LhA or Zip) using only the
standard ASCII character set, i.e. the characters between 32 and 126.
uuencode encodes 3 bytes into 4 characters, enlarging a file by
33%; FSCode does a better job by encoding 4 bytes (a longword) into
5 characters: the enlargement is only 25%.
FSCode can split a large file in multiple parta, and collect multiple
files and/or multiple parts from one single text file.
FSCode is freeware.
