Short: xprascii.library V:2.3 uuen/decode sup. Type: comm/term Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is an XPR 2.0 implementation of the ASCII protocol. based on xprascii.library 0.9 by W.G.J. Langeveld Source code modifications and additions needed for XPR are: Copyright ©1992 Ueli Kaufmann, All Rights Reserved. There's nothing really fancy about it..(-: Configurable options are: `char delay' `line delay' `line-feed translation', `carriage-return translation', `uuencode/uudecode files' `delete received uudecoded files' `expand blank lines', `prompt char' `strip high bit' (C)har delay: C ------------- A numeric value in ticks (1 tick = 20msecs) which causes XPr-ASCII to wait (also called "pacing") before transmitting each character. Values between zero and 500 (10 secs) are valid. (default: 0). (L)ine delay: L ------------- Milliseconds to wait between the transmission of each line of text. The same limits of the character delay option described in the previous section apply here. (default: 0) Carriage-(R)eturn translation: R ------------------------------ The three options available determine how an incoming carriage return is to be handled. You can either do nothing via the (N)one option, (S)trip it, e(X)change for a linefeed , or (A)dd a linefeed character to it. (default: "None") Line-(F)eed translation: F ------------------------ Like the CR transl. feature described in the paragraph above, you can also select how an incoming linefeed character is to be translated. As above, you can leave it alone (None), (S)trip it, e(X)change for a or (A)dd a carriage return character to it. (default: "None") (U)uencode/decode file when sending/receiving: U<0|1> ---------------------------------------------- XPr-Ascii gives you the chance to uuencode binary-files `on the fly' when they are sent. It's possible to uudecode files after receiving, too. (default: off) * `forwarded' from UUCode.doc/UU3722.lha by Klaus Alexander Seistrup * * FUNCTION * These programs/functions are primarily for use with electronic * mail systems such as FidoNet and UUCP. * * UUEncode sort of encrypts a program so that the output will only * contain printable characters, thus allowing you to post a binary * file in a message area. * * UUDecode does the opposite thing: it decrypts an UUEncode'd ASCII * file into its binary origin. It is *NOT* necessary to cut out the * UUEncode'd part of a message in order to decode it - just pass the * whole msg to UUDecode. * * Please note that UUEncode doesn't perform any kind of compression! * In fact, any UUEncode'd file will be *at least* one third bigger * than the original file, due to the loss of information by convert- * ing the file to ASCII. * * Please also note that not all moderators welcome UUEncode't files * and remember that a lot of people will be paying money for down- * loading your messages - so use it with care, huh? :-) * The encode file has an ordinary text form and can be edited * by any text editor to change the mode or remote name. * * This version of uuencode automatically adds checksums to * each line, and an overall file size to the end. Old ver- * sions of uudecode will ignore this extra information, new * versions will check it and complain if it is in error. (D)elete uudecoded file: D<0|1> ------------------------ Delete received uuencoded ascii-file after uudecoding. (default: off) (S)trip high bit: S<0|1> ----------------- Use this option if you want the high bit of each character reset that is received when using 8N1. (default: off) (E)xpand blanks: E<0|1> ---------------- When this feature is selected, XPr-ASCII will send one space character for lines which contain only an end-of-line character. Use this option when the on-line text editor you're using exits its input mode whenever a carriage return is received without any text preceding it. (default: on). (P)rompt char: P -------------- Instructs XPr-ASCII to wait for a specific character after transmitting a line of text. If blank, text is sent continuously without interruption for the duration of the transfer. special chars are: \0 = null (prompt-char option is disabled) \n = newline (ASCII 10) \r = carriage return (ASCII 13) \\ = backslash (ASCII 47) \dNNN = Any decimal ASCII-value fe: \27 Escape (ASCII 27) (default: null {=\0}).
