        Program used to encode binary data as ASCII. Uuencode was
        originally used with uucp to transfer binary files over serial
        lines which did not preserve the top bit of characters but is
        now used for sending binary files by e-mail and posting to
        Usenet newsgroups etc. The program uudecode reverses the effect
        of uuencode, recreating the original binary file exactly.
