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. + +.SH AUTHORS +.B xx +was written by Tahir Zia Khawaja +.I +and Nasir Ahmed Noor +.I + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR uudecode (1) +.BR uuencode (1) +.BR uucp (1) -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
