Import of mmencode.

mmencode is actually part of metamail, but at least one port, bgrab,
requires this to run.  bgrab is a console application, and metamail
requires X (not good).

mmencode simply converts a byte stream into (or out of) one of one of
the standard encoding formats defined by MIME.

Such an encoding is necessary because binary data cannot be sent through the mail.  The encodings understood by mimencode are preferable to the use of the uuencode/uudecode programs, for use in mail, in several respects that were important to the authors of MIME.

+-for mail and news use.  The reason is simple:  uuencode doesn't work very well in a number of circumstances and ways.  In particular, uuencode uses characters that don't translate well across all mail gateways (particularly ASCII <-> EBCDIC gateways).  Also, uuencode is not standard -- there are several variants floating around, encoding and decoding things in different and incompatible ways, with no "standard" on which to base an implementation.  Finally, uuencode does not generally work well in a pipe, although some variants have been modified to do so.  Mimencode implements the encodings which were defined for MIME as uuencode replacements, and should be considerably more robust for email use.

+-.SH BUGS
+-This program was originally distributed as "mmencode".  That name turns out to conflict with a program of the same name that is part of the Slate software from BBN, but totally changing the name to mimencode would create other problems (notably with portability to systems where the left half of file names is limited to 8 characters).  Currently, it is being distributed with links under BOTH names.  The programs in the distribution that call the program all call it as "mimencode", so the "mmencode" version may be deleted at sites where it causes a problem.  (The source files are still named "mmencode" rather than "mimencode".)

+  The mimencode	program	simply converts	a byte stream into (or out of) one of
+  the standard mail encoding formats defined by	MIME, the proposed standard
+  for internet multimedia mail formats.	 Such an encoding is necessary
+  because binary data cannot be	sent through the mail.	The encodings under-

+
+Mmencode is part of metamail, and can be installed as part of that package.
+It is provided here as an independent package since some programs require
+mmencode only and hence you can avoid having to install the entire metalmail
+package when not required.
