- Why not simply do the following?
-
- % compress yourprogram.exe | uuencode - yourprogram.exe.Z > output.uue
-
- Or you could pipe it to a mailer (elm, for example) or to a news poster
- (Pnews, for another example).
-
- % compress yourprogram.exe | uuencode - yourprogram.exe.Z | elm friend@foobox
