UUSTRIP 0.0
Syntax: uustrip infile outfile
The purpose of uustrip is to take a multi-part uuencoded binaries
posting and prepare it quickly for uudecode. I generally use the
picnix utility "cat" to actually glue the various parts together. DOS
copy should be able to be used too. Copy file1+file2+etc file.out . . .
If we have a five part posting, I need merely type:
cat file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 > file.out
uustrip file.out file.uue
uudecode file.uue
All this program does is check the first few characters of every line.
It recognizes the beginning of a uuencoded file, and the ending, and
the regular first-line character. Anything else is simply discarded.
It may not work in some situations. Particularly lines beginning with
Mx (where x is any ascii character) which are not part of the
uuencoded file will cause an error. It's been tested on all recent
postings to comp.binaries.ibm.pc and worked on all of them. So it
seems to be moderately useful as is.
Sure beats manually loading all the source files into an ascii editor
and stripping the header and tail stuff.
