+UUDeview is a program that helps you transmit and receive binary files over
+the Internet, using electronic mail or newsgroups The UUDeview package
+includes both an encoder and a decoder. The decoder automatically detects
+the type of encoding used, offering MIME's Base64 and BinHex as well as the
+popular uuencoding and the less frequently used xxencoding methods.
+Recently, support for the popular yEnc encoding was also added. The encoder
+runs the other way around and encodes a binary file for sending it by mail
+or news.
