UUhtml 0.91b
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a small ARexx utility for use with files obtained with AMosaic.
It removes the extraneous data from UUencoded files saved within AMosaic,
therefore enabling you to extract the pictures/binary/sound/whatever from
them.
Requirements:
Amiga
ARexx, AMosaic.
UUxT recommended.
Installation:
Just copy it to 's:', that's probably best.
Usage:
UUhtml IN [OUT ]
[add] [length ]
[decode] [dest ]
Examples:
UUhtml IN frish.html.uu OUT frish.uu
will put a corrected uuencoded file called 'frish.uu' in the current
directory.
UUhtml IN frish.html.uu1
will make a corrected uuencoded file called 't:out'
UUhtml IN frish.html.uu2 ADD DECODE
will add the results of correction of 'frish.html.uu2' to whatever
already exists in 't:out' and decode it, if you have 'uuxt' in your path.
UUhtml IN frish.html.uu DECODE DEST t:
will correct the file, put it in 't:out', and decode it to 't:' as long
as you have 'uuxt' in your path.
Extras:
If a file just doesn't work at all, try adding the 'length' parameter,
for example:
UUhtml in longline.html.uu LENGTH 62
Some UUencoders use a 62 character length line, just to really confuse
people. Hmph.
You don't have to use upper case for the ARGUMENTS, i just do it for
clarity. And so you feel like i'm shouting at you :P
Problems:
It doesn't work perfectly (which is why it's beta) but it seems to
work best on single part jpegs (I've only tried it on pictures :)
It works well enough for me to use on a regular basis, anyway.
There may be UUencoders it doesn't recognise (at the mo, it knows
7 types) so if you find one, drop me a line giving details of it...
Notes:
No guarantees of any kind, standard disclaimer applies. I trust it,
myself :)
Get UUxT from aminet:util/arc/uuxt30b.lha
It's very very very good.
UUhtml is stuffware - if you like it, send me some stuff, or buy some
stuff, or sell some stuff. or write some stuff, or do some stuff.
Funny word, that, eh?
