- I have made a simple patch which puts a checksum character at the end of each
- line. Files uuencoded with this new uuencode can be uudecoded with the old
- uudecode without complaint. If you use this uudecode on a file uuencoded
- with the old uuencode, every line gives a checksum error, so I have made it
- report only the first five checksum errors. Therefore, if you get errors
- saying that there is a checksum error on lines 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, you can
- presume that the file you are uudecoding was uuencoded without checksums.
-
- To the best of my knowledge uuen/decode are public domain. If they are not
- and I am flamed I will immediately cancel this article and instead post
- context diffs or something. The reason I am posting the programs intact is
- that when I context-diffed them the resulting output was considerably
- longer than the files themselves.
-
- Also: flames to /dev/null if you don't like my sccsids. I don't know how
- they work and don't care; you are free to edit it as required. "Dash one"
- to me means "minor edit #1".
