     What are UUCoders?
     ------------------

        UUCoders are used to send a binary file via uucp or other
     electronic mail systems.

        There are two kind of uucoders, one to encrypt a binary file
     so that the output will only contain printable characters so it
     can be placed in a message area. This is called uuencoding.

        The other one decrypts an uuencode't file to it's binary
     origin. This is called uudecoding.


     UUEncodeX
     ---------

     Usage: UUEncodeX [-bX] <infile> <outfile> [NAME] [FLAGS] [NOCHECK]

     option -b  use only the basename as filename

     option -X  adds after every encoded line an 'X'

     <infile>   name of the binary file which must be encoded

     <outfile>  name of the file which must contain the encoded lines
                of the binary file

     [NAME]     the name you want to call the binary file after decoding
                (if not given, <infile> is used)

     [FLAGS]    set a protection mode (Unix style, 000 - 777)
                Default is 644

     [NOCHECK]  don't add a checksum after each encoded line


        UUEncodeX places a filesize at the end of the encoded file which
     can be used by decoding as a check.

        If the output-file already exists, UUEncodeX will ask you if you
     want to overwrite it.


     UUDecodeX
     ---------

     Usage: UUDecodeX [-b] [-d <destdir>] <infile> [NOCHECK]

     option -b  use only the basename of the encoded file

     option -d  followed by a directory, write the origin file to the
                specified directory

     <infile>   the name of the encoded file which must be decoded

     [NOCHECK]  don't check the checksums given after each line (if
                present)


        You don't have to strip any leading lines added by mailers,
     UUDecodeX will do it himself.

        UUDecodeX can handle encoded files which have checksums, 'X'
     terminated lines or not. Any combination of these two options are
     handled perfectly by UUDecodeX.

        If a size is given at the end of the encoded file UUDecodeX
     will check if this matches with the size of the binary file it
     decoded.


     Why did I made this programs?
     -----------------------------

        I encode and decode a lot of programs each day. The uucoders I
     had were not fast and the fastest one was larger than 10 kB.  And
     i like to program.
