I doubt that most people even remember uuencode, or what it was used for, or, where the name originates from... But: very oldschool.
Maybe there should be a smartphone app to import tiny apps by snapping pictures of uu/base64/ascii85 encoded archive files?
- gnosis 16y agoIf you know enough about software to even attempt embedding Lua in C, I trust you'll be smart enough to type "uudecode" in to google and install/use the requisite software (if you don't already have it). Anyway, I think uuencode is perfect for posting small binaries (and tar files) up on paste code sites. More people should become familiar with it. As for snapping pics with your phone and decoding the image in to an app, you could always try QR Code: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QRcode http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QRcode Or optar: http://ronja.twibright.com/optar http://ronja.twibright.com/optar Or various other barcodes.
