           _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(1) 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 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.
