(xxencoding uses lowercase letters in place of most of uuencode's 9# punctuation and survives BITNET gateways better.) If regular expressions 10# were supported, this entry could possibly be split into two with 11# "begin\040\.\*\012M" or "begin\040\.\*\012h" (where \. and \* are REs). 120 string begin\040 uuencoded or xxencoded text 13 14# btoa(1) is an alternative to uuencode that requires less space. 150 string xbtoa\ Begin btoa'd text 16 17# ship(1) is another, much cooler alternative to uuencode. 18# Greg Roelofs, newt@uchicago.edu 190 string $\012ship ship'd binary text 20 21# bencode(8) is used to encode compressed news batches (Bnews/Cnews only?) 22# Greg Roelofs, newt@uchicago.edu 230 string Decode\ the\ following\ with\ bdeco bencoded News text 24 25# BinHex is the Macintosh ASCII-encoded file format (see also "apple") 26# Daniel Quinlan, quinlan@yggdrasil.com 2711 string must\ be\ converted\ with\ BinHex BinHex binary text 28>41 string x \b, version %.3s 29 30# GRR: is MIME BASE64 encoding handled somewhere? 31
