Rob Halloran says that uuencode and uudecode is the Unix equivalent for BinSCII. This is a little incorrect. Although both uudecode/encode perform the same functions as BinSCII (converting a binary file to text and back), they are not equivalent. They both do the same thing, but use different formats, so they are incompatible. - Andrew. (aabenson@balance.cs.mtu.edu)
