#UUencodes
Sean,
<Can you tell me if I can use UUxt to uuencode small programs as well as
pictures? Also, what kind of compression utility can we use on both platforms?
He is using Windows 95 on a PC. Can I use LhA to crunch the program, and will
he be able to decrunch it? I noticed that LhA 1.38 says in its description
that it is compatible with MS-DOS systems. Does he just pop the same LhA
program I use into his c directory? Am I able to create ZIPped files on the
Amiga?>
Lets see if I can cover all this in some sensible order…:)
1) Yes, Uuxt should allow you to decode the majority of uuencoded files, be
they pictures, programs, whatever.
2) You can use either LHA or ZIP cross-platform. We have an ZIP and UNZIP
program for the Amiga here (search for ZIP).
3) There is an LHA for clones, but it's a different program. Your friend
cannot simply pop the same LHA into his c: directory (do clones even have a c:
directory?). Your friend will have to find a PC version of LHA if that's the
one you decide to go on.
4) Yes, using ZIP you can creat compatible ZIP files on the Amiga.
Hope this helps! 🙂
