# uuencode: file(1) magic for ASCII-encoded files
#
# GRR: the first line of xxencoded files is identical to that in uuencoded
# files, but the first character in most subsequent lines is 'h' instead of
# 'M'. (xxencoding uses lowercase letters in place of most of uuencode's
# punctuation and survives BITNET gateways better.) If regular expressions
# were supported, this entry could possibly be split into two with
# "begin\040\.\*\012M" or "begin\040\.\*\012h" (where \. and \* are REs).
0 string begin\040 uuencoded or xxencoded text
# btoa(1) is an alternative to uuencode that requires less space.
0 string xbtoa\ Begin btoa'd text
# ship(1) is another, much cooler alternative to uuencode.
