Questions tagged [uudecode]

Uudecode is an algorithm for converting text files to binary. It is taken from the phrase "Unix-to-Unix encoding," as the first implementation was the Unix program "uudecode." It was originally used to transmit files over email and Usenet; it has been supplanted by MIME and Base64. See also [tag:uuencode].
