I guess there's not much to say about UUen/decode utilities. I wrote
these because I was unable to find some that meet my needs, ie :
- free
- fast
- accepts HPFS file names
- tolerant UUDecoder
Feel free to use these in any way you want, except making money of course.
Send comments, etc. to rvanney@ibm.net
Thanks to those who already did, and to whom we owe the enhancements
that appear over time.
I usually upload new versions on Hobbes (hobbes.nmsu.edu).
