- VVcode is a new binary/ascii conversion system. It takes the
- best features of such programs as UUencode, XXencode, BinHex,
- Stuffit, Macbinary, BOO, Telcode, MFTU, Netdata, and unifies and
- extends them in a single pair of programs: VVencode and VVdecode.
-
- VVcode is specifically designed to deal elegantly and
- intelligently with OS-specific file structures (such as
- data/resource forks on the Mac, record-oriented file systems like
- VMS) when transferring between OS platforms.
-
- VVcode also incorporates CRC data-integrity checks, character-set
- conversion (ASCII/EBCDIC), automatic file splitting and
- recombining, mail-header stripping, etc. (see vvintro).
-
- VVdecode can also decode UUencoded and XXencoded files.
-
- The source-code for these programs is freely available.
-
- This is a beta release.
