NAME
     uuenview - a powerful encoder for binary files

SYNOPSIS
     uuenview [-v] [-a] [-u|-x|-b] [-lines] [-o] [-od path]
              [-m email] [-p newsgroup] [-s subject]
              [file(s)]

DESCRIPTION
     uuenview encodes a binary file into ASCII text  for  sending
     over  non-8-bit  electronic  data channels, such as email or
     the usenet.  uuenview is a superset of and  fully  backwards
     compatible  with the standard uuencode(1) command, featuring
     more comfort and more flexibility.

     Files encoded with uuenview are  compatible  with  virtually
     all  decoders, as long as the encoding method (see below) is
     supported by the remote side. If the remote side uses  uude-
     view(1), there shouldn't be any problems at all.

     If properly  configured,  uuenview  can  directly  send  the
     encoded  data  by email or to the usenet. These messages are
     wrapped into a proper MIME envelope, which is handy  if  the
     recipient uses MIME-compliant mail or news software.

OPTIONS
     -v   Verbosely prints everything the program's trying to do.

     -u   Chooses the uuencoding method. This is the default  for
          compatibility  with  uuencode (1). This encoding scheme
          is to date widely accepted as being the standard.

     -b   Chooses the Base64 encoding method as specified by  the
          MIME  standard.  This  scheme is expected to become the
          future standard.   Use  if  the  recipient  uses  MIME-
          compliant software (see note below).

     -x   Chooses the now obsolete xxencoding method.

     The -u, -b, -x options are mutually exclusive.

     -lines
          Substituting lines with  a  number,  sets  the  maximum
          number  of  encoded lines per part. The encoded data is
          automatically split into as  many  parts  as  required.
          Line  counts  less than 200 are ignored. The uuencoding
          and xxencoding methods encode 45k, and  Base64  encodes
          57k of data in 1000 lines. If this option is not speci-
          fied, the default is unlimited lines per part,  result-
          ing in exactly one part.

     -o   Specifies that output  shall  be  written  into  files.
          These  files will have the same base name as the source
          file and an extension of .001, .002 etc,  depending  on
          the  number of parts required by the -lines option. The
          encoded files are written to the current directory.

     -od path
          Same as '-o', but the encoded files are written to  the
          given directory instead.

     -m email
          Mails the encoded file(s), each one probably split into
          multiple  parts,  to  the given email address. Multiple
          recipients can be given as  a  quoted,  comma-separated
          list.

     -p newsgroup
          Posts the encoded file(s), each one probably split into
          multiple  parts, to the given newsgroup. Multiple news-
          groups can be given as a quoted, comma-separated  list.
          The  inews(1)  program  is invoked for posting. You may
          have to set the NNTPSERVER enviroment variable to  your
          news server.

     -s subject
          This subject will be used when mailing or  posting  the
          file.  Be  careful  to  quote subjects of more than one
          word. The file name and part  number  is  automatically
          appended to the subject line.

     -a   Attaches files. This feature is  expected  to  be  used
          from  shell  scripts  and  the like. It causes an email
          message (or usenet posting) to be  read  from  standard
          input.  The  files  given  on the command line are then
          "attached" to the message, which is converted to proper
          MIME  multipart  format.  The  result is written to the
          standard output except if either the -m or -p parameter
          is  used  (potentially  overriding  the Newsgroup or To
          selection from the message headers).  Use  Base64  when
          encoding attachments.

     file(s)
          One or more filenames to be  processed.  Each  file  is
          encoded and then stored in a file, mailed and/or posted
          according to the -o, -m and  -p  options.  If  none  of
          these  options  is  given,  the encoded file is sent to
          standard output. To encode a  file  from  the  standard
          input,  use  a single hyphen '-' and give a filename to
          be used by the encoded file as the next parameter.

NOTES
     Reading from standard input and writing to  standard  output
     enforces certain limitations.
     1.   Files read from standard input can only be  used  once,
          meaning  that either none or exactly one of the -o, -m,
          -p options may be given.

     2.   Output written to standard output cannot be split  into
          multiple  parts.   In  this  case, the -lines option is
          ignored.

     uuenview must be correctly configured  at  compile  time  in
     order  to  make  automated  mailing  and posting work. If it
     doesn't, consult your  system  administrator.   The  program
     used  for  posting  a  file  can be set at runtime using the
     INEWS  environment  variable.  This  setting  overrides  the
     compile-time configuration.

     Base64 is not MIME. Base64 is the encoding specified by  the
     MIME standard, but in order for a message to become a proper
     MIME message, a number of headers  are  required.   uuenview
     produces these headers when mailing or posting, but not when
     writing to a local file, since in  this  case,  the  program
     does not have the necessary control over the headers. If you
     plainly include Base64 output into your messages,  they  are
     not MIME-compliant! Therefore, use uuencoding in this case.

     If you rename, copy or link the program to uuencode, it  may
     act  as  a smart replacement for the standard, accepting the
     same command-line syntax. This has not been well-tested yet.

EXAMPLES
     uuenview -m 'root,fred@somewhere.com' uudeview.tgz
          Encodes the file uudeview.tgz and mails it to both your
          local  system  administrator and to your friend Fred at
          the Somewhere company.

     If you give more than one filename on the command line, each
     file  is usually handled separately. A workaround is to send
     them all as attachment to a single (or empty) mail:

     uuenview -m root -b -a file1 file2 < /dev/null
          Creates an empty mail and attaches the two given files,
          encoded  in Base64 format, and mails the result to your
          system administrator.

BUGS
     The program cannot detect error conditions when  mailing  or
     posting.

     Attaching only works reliably  if  certain  headers  of  the
     input message (for example Content-Type ) are not folded and
     shorter than 1024 characters.

     It is not yet possible to encode into BinHex.
