: ... I never heard of xxencode. So let's generate some questions from scratch:

:   1. Why wasn't it posted uuencoded? So, people have to go and look for
:      xxencode. Everyone already has uuencode.
:   2. What the hell is xxencode? Sounds a little like a coder for X-windows.
:      But i'm wrong with this, or not?
:   3. Where can i get xxencode? Or will ya post (or make otherwise accessible)
:      a uuencoded version?

: And no flames, please! I read the FAQ and couldn't find anything about 
: xxencode or xxdecode!

Actually, if you have the DOS uucode programs by Richard E. Marks, they 
support xxencode, too...

....Quozl!
