                      SwampDog UU encoder / decoder
                      -----------------------------

"File" button. Select the file you want to encode or decode. The 
relevant "Encode" or "Decode" button will become available. Files may 
be dropped onto SDUU and it will automatically work out what to do 
with them. It's just ocurred to me that dropping a combination of 
encoded and decoded files onto it has never been tried - might work 
but I doubt it.

"Encode" button. UU-encodes the selected file. Only available if SDUU 
thinks the file is not alreadu encoded.

"Decode" button. UU-decodes the selected file. Only available if SDUU 
thinks the file is already encoded. It works this out very simply - it 
looks at the first character after the extender and if this is a 'u' 
it is encoded!

"Remove Source". Does just that. The original file(s) are deleted 
after encoding or decoding. The source is still deleted even if 
something goes wrong like disk full. This has never been a problem as 
the source can always be extracted from the offline reader again and 
if it's corrupted it wants removing anyway.

"Lines". Leave this blank or zero to encode to a single file otherwise 
enter the number of lines each section is to take up. Remember, it's 
in lines _not_ in bytes.

"Multi Decode". The selected filename is ignored but the directory it 
sits in is scanned for *all* encoded files. They are decoded in turn. 
In the unlikely event one or more of the encoded files specifies the 
same decoded filename as another then something is going to get 
overwritten!

"Auto Terminate". The program quits after doing the encode / decode 
tasks. This is most useful for drag and drop situations. SDUU turns 
this option off if you execute it directly - ie the option only 
remains turned on if you use drag and drop.

"U-Score". If you think your singletasking AES supports the underlined 
characters keyboard shortcuts try selecting this, quitting and 
restarting - they may come into effect.

UNDO closes the active window. SHIFT-UNDO where MagiC is present is 
the same as the BACKDROP button. CTRL-UNDO cycles the SDUU windows. 
The status of all windows for all resolutions is remembered in pug.pos 
- delete it if you want them re-centred. Similarly, sduu.dat is 
written each time SDUU terminates and holds the current options.
