Short: Base 85 uuencode replacement Author: flavio@iestn.inet.it (Flavio Stanchina) Uploader: flavio iestn inet it (Flavio Stanchina) Type: util/arc Version: 37.20 Architecture: m68k-amigaos FSCode was born to be a more efficient replacement for uuencode; it's purpose is to encode a binary file (for example, an executable or an archive such as those made by LhA or Zip) using only the standard ASCII character set, i.e. the characters between 32 and 126. uuencode encodes 3 bytes into 4 characters, enlarging a file by 33%; FSCode does a better job by encoding 4 bytes (a longword) into 5 characters: the enlargement is only 25%. FSCode can split a large file in multiple parta, and collect multiple files and/or multiple parts from one single text file. FSCode is freeware. Flavio Stanchina Loc.
