- --------------
-
- This pair of utilities will convert ANY file, including ZIP files and
- GIFS to an ASCII text representations. These can be included in E-Mail
- messages for decoding on the other end.
-
- Syntax is quite simple
-
- UUENCODE [-o] [d:][\path\]filename.ext <RETURN>
-
- produces filename.UUE on current drive\path
- (providing filename.UUE doesn't already exist).
- -o switch forces overwrite of existing filename.UUE
-
- You may then PASTE the resulting text file into any document for
- transmission via E-Mail.
-
- The recipient should delete all of the file except the portion beginning
- with begin, and the last end statement.
-
- IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE BEGIN AND END LINES BE INCLUDED IN THE FILE
-
- UUDECODE [-?][-o] [d:][\path\]filename.ext <RETURN>
- Using the filename.typ in the "begin" line,
- produces uudecoded filename.typ on current drive\path
- (providing filename.typ doesn't already exist).
-
- -o switch forces overwrite of existing filename.typ
- -? produces this help message.
-
- This technique is widely used on The Internet to include binary files in
- E-Mail messages. Handy if the recipient does not have access to FTP.
-
-
-
- To convert the included WINLOGO.UUE to a GIF file WINLOGO.GIF merely enter
-
- UUDECODE winlogo.uue [Enter]
-
- This assumes that WINLOGO.UUE is in the current directory, and UUDECODE
- is either in the current directory or in your path.
