-- Introduction:
--------------
There are some ways for 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.
Although today almost all the mailers support internal encoding/decoding
of UU and MIME, but it is still usefull to have a standalone program
to decode UU files whenever needed ;)
Because of this, I decided to develope a decoder based on it, and I have
many ideas to make it even better. I will implement them if I see at least
10 users ask and support it.
-- How to use:
------------
copy the pj_uudecode wherever you want (better to be in path) and then
call it like this:
pj_uudecode [filename]
If no filename is given, the version and copyright notice will be shown.
After running the program and if no errors occures, a file with the name in
beginning line of encoded text will be created in current directory.
For the localized version, copy the Catalog drawer and its contents to
the SYS:local/ to enable the program to use your primary language in its
messages.
In this version, the protection flags of the output file will be set to
RWED, so if your file has other flags, you have to change this using
AmigaDOS command Protect.
I'd prefer to put it in my DirectoryOpus v4.11 buttons, that makes it
easier to use.
If people show that they are interested in this program then:
-- To Do: (If more than 10 people be interested in!)
-------
- Adding encoding algorithms.
- Adding more features, more decoding algorithms.
- Adding a GUI to the program.
- Multidecode feature.
- ASL requester for input file name.
-- 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.
