- FIXUUE - A program for fixing translation problems on UUEncoded files
-
- Author: Mario A. Guerra - University of Costa Rica
- Bitnet address: MGUERRA@UCRVM2
-
- Version: 1.10
-
- This program fixes a common problem found in the SIMTEL20 service consisting
- in representing the left square bracket ('[') as '╒' and the right square
- bracket (']') as a sigma character ('σ'). Seemingly, this happens if the
- sender is an Internet user (like SIMTEL), so this program can be used in all
- files that have this problem, not only files from SIMTEL.
-
- I took the Blockwrite Turbo Pascal 6.0 example and modified it for the
- translation. Also, I did a rudimentary IO ckecking.
-
- The usage of this program is:
-
- FIXUUE <firstfil> <nfiles>
-
- <firstfil> is the first file to be translated. Mandatory.
-
- <nfiles> is the number of files to be translated. Optional. Default=1.
-
-
- FIXUUE 1.10 works this way:
-
- If the file name ends with a number, the next file to be processed has the
- number incremented by one (FILE3, FILE4, etc.).
-
- If the file name does not end with a number, the next file has the last
- character substituted by a 1, then 2, etc. (AFILE, AFIL1, AFIL2, etc.).
-
- If one file ends with a 9, the next has the rightmost character to the left
- of the number dropped (AFIL9.TXT, AFI10.TXT and so on).
-
- The only part modified by this process is the file name, not the extension.
-
- Notice that this is the way the multiple file uuencoders work.
