9.1) What's this UUEncoding stuff (.uu, .uue files) all about?

---
     UUEncode/UUdecode is a UNIX utility that will convert a binary file into
100% printable ASCII characters, so that the file may be posted or e-mailed
anywhere a text message can go.  The 8-bit Atari is perfectly capable of
UUEncoding/UUdecoding as well.  On the archives:

Uudecode 1.2a by John Sangster - very functional.
  filenames: Archivers/uudecode.bas, Archivers/uudecode.doc

Yet Another UU-coder by John Dunning - both decoding/encoding.
  filename: Archivers/yau.arc

Uudecode.com, Uuencode.com by ??? - "newer, cleaner, easier to use."
  filename: Utilities/uue.arc

Dumas UU-coder by John Dunning
  filename: Cc65/dumasuu.arc
