(Original Unix C-Source by Craig Bruce, recompiled with SasC/Amiga)
These programs allow you to encode binary data into a text format that can
be e-mailed or posted to USENET newsgroups. Functionally, they are quite
similar to the uuencode/uudecode standard Unix utilities, except that these
programs can use three different encoding formats (including "uucode") and
allow for the automatic splitting, reordering, and incremental reassembly
of multiple file segments for long files, and provide CRC-32 and size error
checking on each encoded segment.
In other words, these are "better-mousetrap" versions of the uucode utils.
The bcode and unbcode programs support four encoding formats:
NUCODE, UUCODE, BCODE, and HEXCODE.
