- Introduction
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- This is the one and only UUDecode arexx script for THOR. It can either be
- used from THOR's arexx menu, from the commandline without any arguments, or
- from the commandline with an argument consisting of a file name. All
- uuencoded files in this file will be decoded.
-
- With THOR 2.2 and above you get an icon in the listview instead of seeing
- uuencoded files. However, you still need UUDecode.thor because THOR executes
- this script when you click the icon in the listview.
-
- Features
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- · Progressbar while uudecoding.
- · UUDecode all files in all messages selected in the messagelist listview or
- just the files contained in the message currently shown.
- · Adds filenotes to decoded files stating where you got them.
- · Can recognize an unlimited number of files and execute a chosen action
- upon the decoded file. Use for pictureviewer, archive unpacking, etc etc.
- · Extremely configurable. You can change all paths used (destination,
- temporary, ...), the commandline of the uudecoder you use, filetypes which
- the script should recognize and launch certain actions on, switch on and
- off features which you might consider too slow (filetype recognition and
- adding of filenotes), etc etc.
- · All configuration done from an easy-to-use GUI.
-
- Requirements
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- · THOR 2.2 or higher.
- · The following AmigaDOS commands in the path: delete, search, filenote, rx
- · Some uudecoder program. The default configuration file contains
- commandlines for uuOut v1.14 by Nicolas Dade, UUxT v3.1 by Asher Feldman
- and UUFast v1.25 by Jørn Halonen. You may configure your own uudecoder as
- well.
-

- History
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- UUDecode.thor v2.00 (20.11.94)
- · This version is only for THOR v2.0 or higher.
- · A lot easier to adapt to other uudecoders and
- includes commandstrings for uuOut, UUFast and UUxT.
- · Finally fixed qoutes around downloadpath with spaces.
- (Thank you Sigbjørn Skjæret! :)
- · Doesn't require rexxsupport.library anymore.
- · adds comments to uudecoded files containing
- 'From <name> in <conf> on <bbsname>'.

- · adds filenotes to *all* files in the message

- · supports multiple selected msgs in THOR 2.1
-
- UUDecode.thor v3.00 (03.10.95)
- · Uses the AmigaDOS command "search" for finding filenames to
- add filenotes to. Much faster and uses less RAM.
- · Destination directory for uudecoded files can now be set.
- · Filetype recognition added! Currently recognizes all sorts
- of pictures (based on extension) and three kinds of archives
