//+ Name DwUuencode -- Class for performing uuencode or uudecode operations
//+ Description
//. {\tt DwUuencode} performs uuencode or uudecode operations.  Uuencode
//. is a format for encoding binary data into text characters for transmission
//. through the mail system.  The format also includes the file name and the
//. file mode.  (Note: The file mode is significant only in UNIX.)  In MIME,
//. the use of uuencode is deprecated; base64 is the preferred encoding
//. for sending binary data.
//.
//. To use {\tt DwUuencode} for encoding binary data into uuencode format,
//. set the file name, file mode, and binary data string using the member
//. functions {\tt SetFileName()}, {\tt SetFileMode()}, and
//. {\tt SetBinaryChars()}.  Then call the member function {\tt Encode()}.
//. Finally, retrieve the uuencoded text characters by calling
//. {\tt AsciiChars()}.
//.
//. To use {\tt DwUuencode} to decode uuencoded data, set the ASCII characters
//. using the member function {\tt SetAsciiChars()}, then call {\tt Decode()}.
//. Finally, retrieve the file name, file mode, and binary characters by
//. calling {\tt FileName()}, {\tt FileMode()}, and {\tt BinaryChars()}.

    void Encode();
    //. Creates an ASCII string of characters by uuencoding the file name,
    //. file mode, and binary data.

    int Decode();
    //. Extracts the file name, file mode, and binary data from the ASCII
    //. characters via a uudecode operation.
