- UUCODE version 3.1 was released in February 1994 with the
- following enhancements (compared to 3.0). Look for file
- UUCODE31.ZIP on BBS's, on-line services, and the Internet.
-
- - Another command line option, -N or /N, is provided to run
- UUCODE in Quiet Mode which minimizes progress display and
- never prompts the user for an action; default actions are
- always taken. This is useful to launch UUCODE from another
- program which is used to automate a task without requiring
- user input.
-
- - UUCODE now has two modes instead of three; Quiet Mode and
- Interactive Mode.
-
- - Selection of multiple input files is now possible from the
- input file open dialog box. Pressing the Control key while
- clicking on a file will add it to the list to be processed.
- Pressing the Shift key while clicking on a file will add a
- range of files to the list to be processed. For more
- information on how to use the standard Shift or Control Click
- feature of Windows, please read your Windows manuals.
-
- - Upgraded support of DOS uuencode/uudecode programs to
- version 5.24.
-
- - When invalid UU or XX encoded data is encountered, the user is
- prompted to continue. UUCODE will, if instructed, attempt to
- decode the data. The reason for this feature is that on some
- occasions, the encoded files ending with a certain character
- pattern (spaces) sometimes get truncated by email systems. UUCODE
- will assume that spaces are required to fill out the encoded
- data and attempt decoding anyway.
-
- - UUCODE now places it's initialization file UUCODE.INI in the
- home directory of UUCODE rather than in the Windows directory.
- This makes un-installation easier.
-
- - Additional logic has been added to improve detection of multiple
- part types.
-
- - Both UNIX and DOS path names (versus just the filename part) are
- accepted in the encoded data file. Path separators for DOS '\'
- (backslash) and UNIX '/' (slash) are recognized. The path
- component is stripped off when creating the original input file
- contained in the encoded file.
-
- - An electronic on-line order form is provided which allows the
- user to type the registration information into a dialog box and
- print the order instead of requiring the user to first print an
- order form and then hand writing the order. In addition, the
- on-line order form automatically calculates the order price.
- This limits math mistakes and makes it much easier to read the
- orders. The printable order form which is completed via
- hand-writing is still provided, however.
-
- - The installation program will ask to create a Program Manager
- group instead of automatically creating one. The group name may
- also be changed from the default.
