I have re-written UUENCODE and UUDECODE for the PC. I will send them to the net in a few days. The programs now run quickly. The DECODE attempts to handle many eccentricities found in encoded files. For example, DECODE skips null lines. It also automatically combines multiple files, automatically skipping over header and trailer text. ENCODE, optionally, encodes a file into sections of less than 64k bytes. I have not put in any CRC checks because this is not a UU standard. Before I release these, suggestions are solicited.

Re: New uu{en|de}code coming
Would you consider putting in CRC checks such that
1) for uuencode you have to ask for it specifically
2) for uudecode it would determine if they were present and if so
re-check them
So much stuff seems to get mangled on this net; we need all the checking
we can get.

How about a uuencode that splits the output into hunks that will pass
the various brain damaged news and notes interfaces, and then reassemble
the file at the uudecode end automatically and without regard to which
order the pieces arrived in. (The result would be a sparse file until
all the pieces were available.)
