- The problem - You need to send a file via E-mail to someone on Compuserve,
- MCI, Internet - wherever, only the file is a ZIP or program file and you
- can't "ATTACH" a file that way... and snail mail is just TOO slow.
-
- WILLY WANTS IT NOW!
-
- Willy will turn the file into a text file which you can then send as a
- document. I developed Willy because I needed to send program updates to a
- customer in Czechoslovakia named Willy. He had access to MCI Mail only.

- New for Version 1.04 05/04/93
-
- Willy will now create files of any size allowing you to specify the maximum
- number of characters to include in each packet. The default packet size
- is 30,000 characters (the maximum for AOL) but you can set any size which
- your Internet gateway can handle. The first file, WILLY001.BAS will be
- the program to recreate your document, and each of the other files,
- WILLY002.BAS, WILLY003.BAS, etc. will contain the "willied" file.
-
- Willy now uses a compression scheme comparable to the scheme used by
- UUCP, the Unix equivalent to Willy. This compresses the file while still
- maintaining a file which can be sent as a document (no control or graphics
- characters).
