          _U_u_e_n_c_o_d_e and _u_u_d_e_c_o_d_e are used to send a binary file via
          uucp (or other) mail.  This combination can be used over
          indirect mail links even when _u_u_s_e_n_d(1C) is not available.

          _U_u_e_n_c_o_d_e takes the named source file (default standard
          input) and produces an encoded version on the standard
          output.  The encoding uses only printing ASCII characters,
          and includes the mode of the file and the _r_e_m_o_t_e_d_e_s_t for
          recreation on the remote system.

          _U_u_d_e_c_o_d_e reads an encoded file, strips off any leading and
          trailing lines added by mailers, and recreates the original
          file with the specified mode and name.

          The intent is that all mail to the user ``decode'' should be
          filtered through the uudecode program.  This way the file is
          created automatically without human intervention.  This is
          possible on the uucp network by either using _s_e_n_d_m_a_i_l or by
          making _r_m_a_i_l be a link to _M_a_i_l instead of _m_a_i_l. In each
          case, an alias must be created in a master file to get the
          automatic invocation of uudecode.

          If these facilities are not available, the file can be sent
          to a user on the remote machine who can uudecode it
          manually.

          The encode file has an ordinary text form and can be edited
          by any text editor to change the mode or remote name.

          The file is expanded by 35% (3 bytes become 4 plus control
          information) causing it to take longer to transmit.

          The user on the remote system who is invoking _u_u_d_e_c_o_d_e
          (often _u_u_c_p) must have write permission on the specified
          file.
