#------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # uuencode: file(1) magic for ASCII-encoded files # # GRR: the first line of xxencoded files is identical to that in uuencoded # files, but the first character in most subsequent lines is 'h' instead of # 'M'. (xxencoding uses lowercase letters in place of most of uuencode's # punctuation and survives BITNET gateways better.) If regular expressions # were supported, this entry could possibly be split into two with # "begin\040\.\*\012M" or "begin\040\.\*\012h" (where \. and \* are REs). 0 string begin\040 uuencoded or xxencoded text # btoa(1) is an alternative to uuencode that requires less space. 0 string xbtoa\ Begin btoa'd text # ship(1) is another, much cooler alternative to uuencode. # Greg Roelofs, newt@uchicago.edu 0 string $\012ship ship'd binary text # bencode(8) is used to encode compressed news batches (Bnews/Cnews only?) # Greg Roelofs, newt@uchicago.edu 0 string Decode\ the\ following\ with\ bdeco bencoded News text # BinHex is the Macintosh ASCII-encoded file format (see also "apple") # Daniel Quinlan, quinlan@yggdrasil.com 11 string must\ be\ converted\ with\ BinHex BinHex binary text >41 string x \b, version %.3s # GRR: is MIME BASE64 encoding handled somewhere?
