.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Uuexpand
is a representation independent file archival and transportation
mechanism for any operating system that has a "C" compiler available,
including Unix, the Macintosh, MS-DOS, OS/2, VMS, and the like.
.I Uuexpand
also supports all international character sets, including 16-bit Asian,
and 8-bit non-English, as required by the application.
.PP
The program pair are intended to be used to aid in the easy
transportation of program and textual sources, data files, and
binaries via electronic media.
.PP
.SS Options
.PP
There are many options:
.TP
.B \-16
Specifies that 16-bit character sets are being used and to ensure
portability. (Note on non-standard character sets: you must ensure
that when unexpanded the same parameter is specified to the
program!)
.TP
.B \-8
Specifies that 8-bit character sets are being used. This is the
default character set assumed (255 character extended ASCII)
.TP
.B \-7
Use a 7-bit ASCII representation for smaller output files. This
is useful if you are sure that you've not strayed beyond the
basic 128 ASCII characters. (see the note under the '-16' option)
.TP
.B \-?
Output a summary of the starting options available.
.TP
.B \-A
Use the ASCII character set for the output of the program. This is
the default character set assumed.
.TP
.B \-E
Use the EBCDIC character set for the output of the program. If you
use this option you must ensure that the other end also uses this
option when the file or software is unpacked.
.TP
.B \-d
Turn on debugging for more output and some ending statistics.
.TP
.B \-e
Expand the input -- act as if we'd invoked
.I uuexpand
explicitly (for sites that choose to change the name).
.TP
.B \-h
Output a summary of starting options; identical to '-?'
.TP
.B \-u
Unexpand the input -- act as if we'd invoked
.I uuunexpand
explicitly (for sites that might not have the symbolic link
between the two names installed)
.TP
.B \-v
Enable verbose output including some ending statistics.
.TP
.B \-w N
Set the expanded line output width to
.I N
representational independent output elements. The default, with
the 8-bit characters, is 8 units per output line.
including indirect blocks, is printed.
.SH EXAMPLES
A very typical usage of the program would be for a person at a
site in, say, Hong Kong, to mail a Chinese (16-bit) data file to
a fellow Unix-ite with:
.PP
.ti +.5i
uuexpand -16 < data | mail -s "Data" user@farhost.com
.ti -.5i
.PP
The user at the other end could then simply save the message
int a file then invoke a command similar to:
.PP
.ti +.5i
uuunexpand -16 < data.mailed > data
.ti -.5i
.PP
And the data file would be intact regardless of transport
hosts along the way.
.SH AUTHOR
Dave Taylor, Intuitive Systems, Los Altos, California
.SH SEE ALSO
uuencode(1L), crypt(1), mail(1), uumail(1), shar(1L)
.SH INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT
16-bit, 8-bit and 7-bit data.
.SH BUGS
The EBCDIC support is minimal and needs to be further developed
by someone on an IBM or other EBCDIC machine.
.PP
The portability of the C code has not been completely
verified; input from people on strange hardware, especially
386 Unix machines, would be a useful addition.
.PP
The program doesn't, but should, deal with machines that
have peculiar byte sex problems.
