<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
<EM>Uuencode</EM> is a famous program that converts an arbitrary (usually binary)
|
|
file to an encoding using only 64 ASCII characters. <EM>Uudecode</EM> converts it
|
|
back to the original file. The <EM>uue</EM> and <EM>uud</EM> programs are the MINIX
|
|
versions of these programs, and are compatible with the UNIX ones. The
|
|
files produced can even be sent successfully over BITNET, which is
|
|
notorious for mangling files. It is possible to have <EM>uue</EM> automatically
|
|
split the encoded file up into small chunks. The output files then get
|
|
the suffixes .<EM>uaa</EM>, .<EM>uab</EM>, etc., instead of .<EM>uue</EM>. When <EM>uud</EM> is given
|
|
<EM>file</EM>.<EM>uaa</EM> to decode, it automatically includes the subsequent pieces. The
|
|
encoding takes 3 bytes (24 bits) from the input file and renders it as 4
|
|
bytes in the output file.
