... I never heard of xxencode. So let's generate some questions from scratch:

  1. Why wasn't it posted uuencoded? So, people have to go and look for
     xxencode. Everyone already has uuencode.
  2. What the hell is xxencode? Sounds a little like a coder for X-windows.
     But i'm wrong with this, or not?
  3. Where can i get xxencode? Or will ya post (or make otherwise accessible)
     a uuencoded version?

And no flames, please! I read the FAQ and couldn't find anything about 
xxencode or xxdecode!
