Remarks

Uuencode performs uuencode or uudecode operations. Uuencode is a format for encoding binary data into text characters for transmission through the mail system. The format also includes the file name and the file mode. (Note: The file mode is significant only on UNIX-like systems.) In MIME, the use of uuencode is deprecated; base64 is the preferred encoding for sending binary data. Uuencode is still widely used to post binary content to Usenet newsgroups.

To use Uuencode for encoding binary data into uuencode format, set the FileName, FileMode, and Bytes properties. Then call the Encode() method. Finally, retrieve AsciiChars property to get the uuencoded text characters.

To use Uuencode to decode uuencoded data, set the AsciiChars property. Then call the Decode() method. Finally, get the FileName, FileMode, and Bytes properties.
