Here is a preliminary version of a uuencode module for tcllib inclusion. There are two entry points. uuencode::encode and uuencode::decode just encode or decode the input data while uuencode::uuencode and uuencode::uudecode will generate a properly formatted message (lines limited to 67 chars, length encoded into the first character). [PT]

This is now part of [Tcllib] in the base64 module as uuencode package. So :

  % package require uuencode
  1.0
  % uuencode::encode ABC
  04)#
  % uuencode::decode "04)#"
  ABC
  % set data [uuencode::uuencode -name sample.dat ABC]
  begin 644 sample.dat
  #04)#
  `
  end
  % uuencode::uudecode $data
  {sample.dat 644 ABC}
  %
