- Batch UUD Version 2.73 for DOS
- by Jeff Lee
-
- * PLEASE NOTE: A SWITCH MUST NOW BE USED TO ACTIVATE MIME AUTODETECTION. READ
- DOCUMENTATION FOR REASON.
- * Denotes a new feature for 2.7x and bug fixes!
-
- New To Version 2.73!!
- ---------------------
- * Fixed XXDecode bug present in 2.72
-
- New To Version 2.7x!!
- ---------------------
- * DRASTIC improvements in speed
- * Automatic detection and removal of CRC bytes for better decoding
- * Better handling of files
- * Several bug fixes
- * Internal restructering to gear up for UUD FOR WINDOWS!!
-
- New To Version 2.xx!!
- ---------------------
- * Fixed bug that stopped UUD from completely UUDecoding some files
- * Fixed bug that did not allow some Appended files to decode properly
- * Fixed spacing
- - Reports offset so you know where UUD when dealing with Appended files
- * Fixed bug that caused UUD to freeze up once in a while
- - Vast internal restructuring for a little faster DECODING
- - A simple configuration file that can be used to set default switches and
- files on startup
- - New switch and argument to specify where the files should be decoded to
- - UUD no longer requires each section to have a BEGIN or SECTION line, it
- can start off with a UU or XXEncoded line as long as it has proper header
- information (part/of info and filename)
- - UUD can now handle files that have been split MORE THAN ONCE!! This
- includes those split by the AMERICA ON-LINE E-MAIL GATEWAY!! See DOCS
- for information on this special switch
- - Support for MIME encoded files, detected AUTOMATICALLY
- - Support for an unlimited amount of files in a directory! (Before had a 999
- number of files limit). Limited only by amount of Conventional memory.
- - Keyboard break-out for those rare moments when UUD hangs (Ctrl-C)
- - Faster decoding! (average increase in speed is around 1 second)
- - Can now decode files ANYWHERE on ANY drive!! No longer does it have to
- be in the current directory!
- - Fixed Output Directory bug
- - Better handling of appended files
- - Fixed the bug that screwed up "Scanning"
- - Added a switch to disable/enable MIME decoding; The default is OFF because
- with it on, UUD often falsely reports Encoded files and thus slows time
- decoding.
-
- Features
- --------
- - Fairly Quick UUDecoding, XXDecoding, and MIME Decoding
- - Wild Cards usage for easier decoding. No more UUdecoding one file at a time
- - Handles split file with ease using a STATE OF THE ART parsing system. No
- matter what order the files are in, no more what their filenames,
- UUD can almost always find the next proper file.
- - Automatically detect and handle XXEncoded, UUEncoded, or MIME encoded
- files. No user intervention necessary!
- - Accepts appended files! By creating "virtual" files out of each
- appended file, it can mix and match between individual and appended files!
- - Handles files split by the America On-Line E-mail gateway!
- - Smart scanning reduces file searching time by recording the "part"
- information while it scans
- - A Simple configuration file that can be used to set default switches and
- files on startup
- - Color coded status reports for ease of use
- - UUD forces the user to rename the file if it is not in the proper DOS
- format
-
- PLEASE NOTE
- -----------
- Versions come out fairly quickly, usually at least once every other month.
- Check one of the download sights often.
