- Description:
-
- !U2 is a RISC OS multi-tasking binary-ascii convertor using uuencoding/
- decoding routines. It will encode and decode to/from single/multiple
- files and (if desired) will attempt to extract intelligently multiple
- encoded parts contained, out of order, within a single file. The size
- of the parts in a multi-part encoding can be set from 4k to 1440k (ideal
- for transferring data via DD/HD DOS floppies). The filetype of the
- original file is included in the encoding in a user-defined way and the
- decoded file's type can be set before decoding. The access codes for
- the decoded file can be set from the information contained in the
- encoded file, and it's very good at decoding binary postings from the
- net!
