-- Introduction:
--------------
There are some ways of transfering a file through the networks. One of
The most popular methods is encoding the file to the ASCII text and then
sending it via Email.
There are many types of encoding, but one of the oldest and the most
popular forms is UUEncode.
The first time I need to decode a UUE mail, I have not access to any, but
a source of UUDecode by Berekly University of California, That has been
designed for Un*x and has been modified to be used on MS-DOS and VMS. I
changed the source and recopiled by SAS/C 6:00 to use on my beloved
machine; Amiga.
After recompiling, it finally worked and made my work easier than using
the Un*x and VMS machines to decode or porting mail to PC-Emulator to use
the PC version of Decoder.
Now it is about 2 years I need decoders, and I have many
UUDecoders/Encoders, Also MIME and ... but no one of UUDecoders can
provide me the compatibility that this one provides. It decodes the files
that other decoders report corrupted, with no problems in executables or
data.
Because of this, I decided to develope a decoder based on it, and I have
many ideas to make it even better. I will work on it if I see people are
interested in.
-- How to use:
------------
Piece 'a cake! copy the pj_uudecode wherever you want (better to be in path)
and then call it as:
pj_uudecode [filename]
If no filename is given, the usage will be shown. After running the
program, if no errors occured, a file with the name in beginning line of
encoded text will be available in current directory.
I'd prefer to put it in my DirectoryOpus v4.11 buttons, that makes it
really easy to use.
-- To Do:
-------
- Adding encoding algorithms.
- Adding more features, more decoding algorithms.
- Adding a GUI to the program.
- Multidecode feature.
- Speed! I will optimize algorithms and write next versions in pure
assembly. Also different optimized versions for 68000,68020,68030,
68040,68060 and even new Phase5 PowerPC 603e, 604e processors.
- Your move! Any idea?
-- DISCLAIMER:
------------
As a programmer I have some requests, You'r free to do whatever you want
but I don't like my written program to be used in some special categories.
1) Please don't use this program in any work related to WAR, Making Guns
Bio/MicroBialogical warcrafts and/or Athomic, Neutronical Bombs Or
even transfering their plans and maps.
2) Please don't use it for transferring Sexual materials, except if it is
about your own partner (Wife, Husband). See, I am an open-minded
person but I don't beleive that open sex is of being mind open.
3) Nothing against GOD, Humanity, Earth, Peace, and love.
