Hi - and please help!
I've used uuencode in the distant past but today on Linux I couldn't get it
to create the .uue file. After carefully re-reading the man page I used
this command line:
uuencode INPUTFILE OUTPUTFILE
Then I tried some variations:
uuencode -m INPUTFILE OUTPUTFILE
uuencode <INPUTFILE >OUTPUTFILE.uue
It would indeed write to std-out but I was unable to direct that output into
a file.
It is a tar archive that I need to send by email.
Formerly, as I remember it (20 years ago), the command went like this:
uuencode INPUTFILE OUTPUTFILE.uue and the outputfile was 37% larger but
safe to send by email.
Please help.
Ben
