Wincode: a uucoder for Windows

Wincode is a Windows 3.1 program (written in Turbo Pascal for Windows) which converts ASCII files to BINARY files (and vice versa) through a process known as uucoding. This allows a user to transmit binary files through e-mail (or any other ascii-based communications system) by first converting the files to ascii and then having the receiver of the files re-convert them to binary. Many NewsGroups (on the Internet) utilize this practice (it is common on UNIX-based systems).
