2# uuencode:  file(1) magic for ASCII-encoded files
3#
4
5# GRR:  the first line of xxencoded files is identical to that in uuencoded
6# files, but the first character in most subsequent lines is 'h' instead of
7# 'M'.  (xxencoding uses lowercase letters in place of most of uuencode's
8# punctuation and survives BITNET gateways better.)  If regular expressions
9# were supported, this entry could possibly be split into two with
10# "begin\040\.\*\012M" or "begin\040\.\*\012h" (where \. and \* are REs).

16# ship(1) is another, much cooler alternative to uuencode.
