- Program: UUJoin - join and decode Usenet binary files
- Version: 1.01
- Author: Mark R. Rinfret
- Status: Public Domain
-
- I found myself spending too much time editing, merging and decoding
- uuencoded binaries offloaded from the net, so I whipped up this crude
- little filter/decoder. It's quite simple and probably could have been done
- with awk, but I chose to do it in C. The program, in its current state, is
- hardwired for various machine types but is easily altered. See the source
- for documentation. Macintosh files are not decoded but are left in BinHex
- format. This is format is most easily transported to a Mac system, where
- it can be decoded by a program with BinHex capabilities, such as Stuffit,
- BinHex5.0, etc.
-
- UUJoin is accessed from the CLI and has the following command format:
-
- UUJoin [options] filespecs...
-
- -amiga - Amiga format
- -mac - Macintosh BinHex format (files are not currently decoded)
- -pc - PC-Clown format
- -r - remove original files when done.
-
- File specifications may be individual filenames or Un*x wildcard
- specifications. When using wildcards, be sure to name your files
- in such a way that they will sort into the correct sequence, e.g.
- program.01 program.02 program.03, etc.
-
- If UUJoin is invoked without options, its usage info is displayed.
-
- UUJoin was implemented using Manx Aztec C V5.0b, but should be easily
- ported to other C environments.
-
- Included with uujoin is a program named "xbin", written by Dave Johnson.
- This program will allow you to decode the Macintosh BinHex format on your
- Amiga, if you so desire. I modified it slightly to get it to compile for
- use on the Amiga.
