This is the GNU release of uuencode and uudecode. These programs are used to encode binary data in a printable ASCII format which may be safely sent through e-mail or other communication channel which does not support the transmission of eight bit data. This code is based closely on the BSD NET/2 distribution. Therefore, it is covered by the BSD license, rather than the GPL. See the individual files for the copying conditions. There is currently no texinfo documentation. There are a couple of man pages based on the Berkeley sources. Please report any bugs to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu. Ian Lance Taylor ian@airs.com
