Description: |
- Extracts original file(s) from uuencoded/compressed/split file(s).
a) uudecode a file and display the name of its decoded file
b) decompress .zz (= .gz/.Z/.zip) file; c) uudecode + decompress
d) uudecode + cat (concatenate) + decompress (gunzip)
- Packs file. Reverse the above `extracting' process.
a) compresses, (splits), then uuencodes file(s)
b) built-in uud-compatible uue77 outputs 77 chars/line, not 61.
Suited to send CM gb, big5, ps, pdf files thru listserv lists or email
Reduce size by ~44% gb/big5, ~58% ps vs. sending non-compressed file.
Multi-platform transparent to senders and recipients.
