Sorry about the delay - I started this interesting exercise, but got
distracted .
Here's a simple script that handles uuencoding a file. It's been
moderately, but not thoroughly, tested.
on mouseUp
answer file Select a file
if it is empty then exit mouseUp
put URL (binfile: it) into tOriginal
-- put Cat into tOriginal
put uuencode(tOriginal, 000, text) into tEncoded
put tEncoded after field fLog
put CR the number of chars in tOriginal the number of chars in
tEncoded after field fLog
end mouseUp
function uuencode pData, pPermission, pName
put 1 into tBase
put begin pPermission pName CR into tOutput
put the number of chars in pData into tLen
put numToChar(0) numToChar(0) numToChar(0) after pData
put empty into tLine
repeat until tBase tLen-2 -- i.e. all full words before the padding
put charToNum(byte tBase of pData) * 256 * 256 into t
add charToNum(byte tBase+1 of pData) * 256 to t
add charToNum(byte tBase+2 of pData) to t
put numToChar((t mod 64)+32) into t4
put t div 64 into t
put numToChar((t mod 64)+32) into t3
put t div 64 into t
put numToChar((t mod 64)+32) into t2
put t div 64 into t
put numToChar(t+32) t2 t3 t4 after tLine
if the number of chars in tLine = 60 then
put numToChar(the number of chars in tLine * 3 / 4 + 32)
tLine CR after tOutput
put empty into tLine
end if
add 3 to tBase
end repeat
if tLine is not empty then
put numToChar(the number of chars in tLine * 3 / 4 + 32) tLine
CR after tOutput
end if
put ` CR end CR after tOutput
return tOutput
end uuencode

Hi Matthias,
With LiveCode on Mac OS X you could use a shell() command and let the
'uuencode' line command do the work. Not sure about Windows... there
doesn't seem to be a direct way to uuencode a file - no 'uuencode'
command, nor any way to do it using PowerShell (AFAIK). Do you feel
like writing your own LC uu library? That should be doable.

Do i need 3rd party tools for that? i cannot find anything about it,
when searching the dictionary for uuencode.
