Short: Uuencode/uudecode 1.0 (PPC) Author: Mark Horton, Alan J. Rosenthal, Fred Fish, Bryce Nesbitt, Andreas R. Kleinert Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert t-online de Type: comm/mail Version: 1.0 Architecture: ppc-powerup powerUP (TM) PPC version, V1.0 This is a reworked and recompiled version of an uuencode/uudecode program I once found on an old Fish (AmigaLib) disk. Can't remember, which one it was, but it had been part of a UUCP package. Since, back in 1994, I could not find an other compiled version anywhere, I had to build my own. Because I'm using this tool occasionally, an (optimized) update did seem to be useful, so I made a more amiga-specific version with SAS/C 6.58 which - as a side-effect - should be somewhat faster. Next step was a powerUP (TM) version. Maybe these two programs can be useful for someone else, too. That's why I'm doing an Aminet upload. Big deal ;) See "uucode.doc", "uucomments", "more_uucode_ideas" and the C source code for information on the program and the original authors. For USAGE, see: "uucode.doc" PPC binaries have the ".elf" extension and are useable from Shell when being used with ppc.library V46+ -- ARK, 27/Aug/98 ************************************************************************************* ************************************************************************************* Note: In the past, some guy called "SPH" took most of my free PPC ports (those where the sources have been included) and ported them to WOS. While I've nothing against WOS ports, an other point is very distasteful and unfair in my opinion: removing all references to my name and initials and simply replacing those with his own, while also removing all references to PPC-Lib/ELF and replacing those with WOS references and usually some flames or even offenses against the competing kernel and porter - without actually rewriting the readme text itself in a major way (for example, if I describe what *I* specifically did for the port - and what he didn't have to do a *second* time, of course - he does not even remove/change *those* notes and/or give me credit). This leads to the strange situation, that I hereby have to copyright this .readme text, to claim its authorship and forbid changes which aren't clearly marked as being changes to the original: While quotes may have been derived from other parts of the distribution, the whole .readme as such now is (C)opyrighted by Andreas R. Kleinert in 1998. Copyrights to the other files remain as such. Nevertheless I'd ask anyone to give me credit for the changes which I did myself and which of course have been labeled/marked/documented as such. Even free software lives from respecting the intellectual work and property of others. Thank you. ************************************************************************************* *************************************************************************************
