        !            12: uuencode prepares a binary file for transmission to a remote des-
        !            13: tination via  uucp.  uuencode takes binary  input and produces an
        !            14: encoded  version, consisting  of printable  ASCII  characters, on
        !            15: standard output,  which may be  redirected or piped  to uucp.  If
        !            16: source is not specified, the standard input is read.
        !            17: 
        !            18: The format of the encoded file is as follows:
        !            19: 
        !            20: 1. A header line starting with the characters begin followed by a
        !            21:    space.  This is followed by the mode of the file in octal (see
        !            22:    chmod for  details) and the name of  the output file specified
        !            23:    on the command line.  These last two fields are also separated
        !            24:    by a  space.  The mode and  the system name can  be changed by
        !            25:    directing the output into a file and editing it.
        !            26: 
        !            27: 2. The body of the file, consisting of a number of lines, each no
        !            28:    more than  62 characters long, including  a newline character.
        !            29:    Each line  starts with a  character count written  as a single
        !            30:    ASCII character,  representing an integer value  from 0 (octal
        !            31:    40) to  63 (octal 135) giving the number  of characters in the
        !            32:    rest of the line.   This is followed by the encoded characters
        !            33:    and a newline.  The last line of the body is a line consisting
        !            34:    of an ASCII space (octal 40).
        !            35: 
        !            36: 3. The trailer line has just  the characters end on a line by it-

        !            38: 
        !            39: The encoding  is done by  taking three bytes and  storing them in
        !            40: four characters, six bits per character.
