Enclosed please find my enhancements for uudecode/uuencode for os/2 currently
found on hobbes.nmsu.edu . My version does not require EMX or any other
foreign library to run, unlike the program on hobbes. In addition there are
files uudecDOS.exe and uuencDOS.exe that are exact replicas of os/2 programs,
compiled for DOS.
Enhancements for the release that is currently on hobbes
1. uuencode now accepts wild cards as input line. So the command line like
"uudecode e:\news*" is valid and files will be decoded in current
directory
2. uudecode and uuencode both now accept "-?" or "/?" or "/h" or "-h" as the
first parameter and produce help message.
3. hobbes' current version of uuencode can take standard input as a default
input. I made it more UNIX-like by allowing output on the standard output if
the output parameter was not specified. Now if you start it as "uuencode
file1 file2 file3" it will read "file1" write "file3" and call the coded
archive inside the "file3" a "file2". If it is invoked as "uuencode file2"
the program reads stdin calls the archive "file2" and writes the code to
stdout.
To use the program for reading from the stdin and writing to a file start it
like "type read.me | uuencode ream.me > coded.uu"
Enjoy and modify the program. IT IS A FREE-WARE!
You can not sell it or a media with it, just distribute for FREE!
