UU Decoder

The UU Decoder application was developed to be a small program that can be used as a UU-Decoder and an UU-Encoder. It can decode UUencoded, XXencoded, Base64 and BinHex files. It can encode files to all except the BinHex format.

It is fairly easy to use. Once you start the application a splash screen is displayed while it is loading (you can click on the splash screen to dismiss it). Once loaded you can either drag files from the explorer and drop them onto the main window, or you can select the "Add Files" button (or menu choice). The selected files they are displayed in the left hand side of the application.

I highly recommend that you click the "Check Files" button, this will scan the selected files and make sure they can be properly decoded. However; You do not have to do this, you can click on "Decode Files", and this will also perform the check. Files with errors are not decoded by default. Once you Click "Check Files" the selected files will be processed, and the resulting files will be displayed in the right hand side. You can double click on an item to get error information (if there is a check mark next to the file then this means its OK, and X indicates a problem).

You can also right click on the file to change the resulting file name (of course if you clicked "Decode Files" then you will need to decode them again for the name change to take affect). You can not specify a path to store the files to while changing the name. You can specify the path via the "Save Path" edit box. By default UUDWin32 is setup to overwrite existing files, and to stop decoding a file if an error occurs. You can change these defaults via the View|Options menu.

NOTE: These changes are remembered and become the default.
