Uuencoded

This takes a binary file, and converts it to plain text suitable for emailing. To convert it back to a binary, run uudecode.

this should build on all kinds of things.

/*
 * Modified 12 April 1990 by Mark Adler for use on MSDOS systems with
 * Microsoft C and Turbo C.  Standard input problem fixed 29 April 1990
 * as per suggestion by Steve Harrold.
 *
 * Modifed 13 February 1991 by Greg Roelofs for use on VMS systems.
 * Compile and link normally (but note that the shared-image link option
 * produces a binary only 6 blocks long, as opposed to the 152-block one
 * produced by an ordinary link).  To set up the VMS symbol to run the
 * program ("run uuencode filename1 filename2 filename3" won't work), do:
 *		uuencode :== "$disk:[directory]uuencode.exe"
 * and don't forget the leading "$" or it still won't work.  The syntax
 * differs slightly from the Unix and MS-DOS versions since VMS has such
 * an awkward approach to redirection; run the program with no arguments
 * for the usage (or see USAGE below).  The output file is in VMS "stream-
 * LF" format but should be readable by MAIL, ftp, or anything else.
