Program: UUJoin - join and decode Usenet binary files
Author: Mark R. Rinfret
Status: Public Domain
I found myself spending too much time editing, merging and decoding
uuencoded binaries offloaded from the net, so I whipped up this crude
little filter/decoder. It's quite simple and probably could have been done
with awk, but I chose to do it in C. The program, in its current state, is
hardwired for various machine types but is easily altered. See the source
for documentation.
UUJoin is accessed from the CLI and has the following command format:
UUJoin [options] filespecs...
-amiga - Amiga format
-mac - Macintosh BinHex format (files are not currently decoded)
-pc - PC-Clown format
-r - remove original files when done.
File specifications may be individual filenames or Un*x wildcard
specifications. When using wildcards, be sure to name your files
in such a way that they will sort into the correct sequence, e.g.
program.01 program.02 program.03, etc.
If UUJoin is invoked without options, it's usage info is displayed.
UUJoin was implemented using Manx Aztec C V5.0b, but should be easily
ported to other C environments.
