                      UUencode function library for Amiga.

                       Christopher R. Hertel, March, 1993



This bundle contains the following files:

AuCode.c      - A collection of C functions, macros, and data types that
                support the development of UUencoding and UUdecoding
                programs under AmigaDOS.

AuCode.h      - The header file for AuCode.c.  This header provides
                constants, macros, typdefs, and function prototypes that
                allow you to use the AuCode module with your own source.

AuEncode.c    - An example UUencode program written utilizing the AuCode
                toolkit.

AuEncode      - The AuEncode binary.  Type "AuEncode ?" for information.

AuEncode.DOC  - Documentation on the use of AuEncode.

AuDecode.c    - An example UUdecode program written utilizing the AuCode
                toolkit.

AuDecode      - The AuDecode binary.  Type "AuDecode ?" for information.

AuDecode.DOC  - Documentation on the use of AuDecode.

Readme.AuCode - This readme file.

                program source code and documentation is licensed under the
                terms of the Gnu General Public License.  Please read this
                file.

                               Release Notes
                               -------------

AuCode:

  Rev 1.3:
    Rewrote some of the comments to better describe the use of the
    functions.  Also found & repaired a big bug in the calculation of
    checksums.

  Rev 1.2:
    A small bug (causing significant problems) was found and repaired.
    Several comment lines were updated.

  Rev 1.1:
    AuCode was placed under the Gnu License for distribution.  Copyright
    remains with Christopher R. Hertel (me).

  Rev 1.0:
    This is the first release of this code.  It has been mailed to the
    current keeper of the AmigaUUCP code for consideration.  Any bug
    reports, suggestions, or other issues will be resolved before general
    release.  If there are no issues (Hah!), then 1.0 will be released.

    The header file is extensively documented, as is the C file.  To use
    this toolkit, simply include the header in your own source.  See
    AuEncode.c for an example.

AuEncode:

  Rev 1.2:
    Some of the comments were cleaned up and corrected.  The help message
    was rewritten.

  Rev 1.1:
    The command line parameter sequence was modified so that it *really
    would* match that of the AmigaUUCP UUencode program.  In the process of
    changing the workings of the command line parser, 50 to 65 percent of
    the code was dumped (because it was extra, useless, and wasteful).

  Rev 1.02:
    This is an example program written using the AuCode toolkit.  It is a
    fully functional UUencode program.  It offers a variety of command line
    switches that make it more flexible than AmigaUUCP UUencode, but it
    allows the same command line format as the latter, so you don't have to
    change your style.  See the MAN file (AuEncode.DOC) for more info.

AuDecode:

  Rev 1.0..1.2:
    Initial release.  This is an example program written using the AuCode
    toolkit.  I expect that there are many things that may be improved.
    Also, there are a few functions built into AuDecode that should
    probably be moved to the AuCode module.
