Description:
Mpack and munpack are utilities for encoding and decoding
(respectively) binary files in MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions) format mail messages. For compatibility with older
forms of transferring binary files, the munpack program can also
decode messages in split-uuencoded format. The Macintosh version
can also decode messages in split-BinHex format.
This MIME implementation is intended to be as simple and portable
as possible. For a slightly more sophisticated MIME
implementation, see the program MetaMail, available via anonymous
FTP to thumper.bellcore.com, in directory pub/nsb
[ Note: MetaMail is also included on this CD-ROM. ]
-- Adapted from the 1.5 README.unix file
Advertised architectures:
Versions are included for UNIX, PC, OS/2, Mac, Amiga and
Archimedes systems.
The mpack distribution should compile with no changes on most
UNIX systems. There are a few exceptions - if compiling on SunOS,
SVR4, SCO UNIX, or an ancient BSD without the strchr() function,
edit the Makefile and uncomment the relevant lines.
