pkzip is an old standards, if you use DOS... compress for DOS is not
too common.
On Unix, there is a program called "zip" that does the same job as pkzip.
As with UUENCODE, it uses *ascii* characters that many sites on the
net will misunderstand, ie. confound different sort of whitespaces and
such. XXENCODE was written to fix some of those problems. I don't
know exactly, because I don't have XXDECODE here yet, but I will try to
get it given the opportunity...
UUD / UUE are a different approach to fix the problems UUENCODE had,
it exists in C source code for DOS and UNIX, and can be decoded
with UUDECODE as well as it can decode files produced by UUENCODE,
so compatibility is 100% but the coding is better.
>Maybe you could repost with uuencode and compress.
*that* would be a waste of bandwidth I cannot apreciate.
I think it would be a better idea to help spread the new programs,
it's the easier way. Like posting a XXENCODE/XXDECODE in source code...
... if it hasn't be done yet.
