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). 

I wrote this program for my own needs but I am releasing it to
the public as FREEWARE...yes, you don't have to pay for it...just
use it. I hope others find it as useful as I do and if so, drop
me a line at the address(es) in the HELP file.

Features (brief):
          - Full featured Windows 3.1 program
          - Drag and Drop support! (use for batch en/de-coding)
          - Fully configurable
          - It's FREE...

Requirements:
               - IBM compatible running DOS 3.1 or higher
               - 286 or higher processor with at least 2MB memory
               - Windows 3.1 running in standard or enhanced mode
               - 85K of disk space (~65K for Wincode, ~20K for
                 HELP file)


Running Wincode:

To run this program, copy the files WINCODE.EXE and WINCODE.WRI
to a directory of your choice (I use C:\UTIL\WINCODE). Start Windows
and either install WINCODE.EXE as an icon (see the WINCODE.WRI file
or your Windows manuals) or use Program Manager's FILE|RUN option to
run Wincode (type in the full path of WINCODE.EXE). If you have the
Windows WRITE program in your Windows directory (WRITE is a word
processing program that is included with Windows 3.1), then select the
HELP|GETTING STARTED... option in Wincode for a complete explanation
of how to configure and run the program. Otherwise, use WRITE (or any
other text viewer) to view WINCODE.WRI manually. Have Fun...
