Description:

!U2 is a RISC OS multi-tasking binary-ascii convertor using uuencoding/
decoding routines.  It will encode and decode to/from single/multiple
files and (if desired) will attempt to extract intelligently multiple
encoded parts contained, out of order, within a single file.  The size
of the parts in a multi-part encoding can be set from 4k to 1440k (ideal
for transferring data via DD/HD DOS floppies).  The filetype of the
original file is included in the encoding in a user-defined way and the
decoded file's type can be set before decoding.  The access codes for
the decoded file can be set from the information contained in the
encoded file, and it's very good at decoding binary postings from the
net!
