+.SH NAME
+.B xx
+\- extract binary files from uudecoded files
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B xx
+< file.uu
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B xx
+is shell script that extracts binary files from files encoded in the UNIX-to-UNIX
+(uu) format. It ignores all headers and irrelevant stuff.
+
+.SH BUGS
+.B xx
+has shortfalls like all such scripts/programs, but it works (almost) 100% of
+the time. It was tested against many such tools available at many ftp sites and
+it was found that it had a higher success rate. There are a few C programs out
+there and
+.B xx
+is slower compared to them. But it works even in those cases where they fail to
+work. The only time it will not work is when a uuencoded source file is cut up in
+many pieces and the last part contains less than three source lines in it. Such
+cases are however rare.
