  This program uuencodes binary files so  that  you  can  transfer  them  over
computer networks.



  USAGE:

  The parameter syntax is the following:

  STARUUE <filename> [-|/<options>]

  <filename>:
  This is the full name of files to be converted. You can  use  wildcards,  as
well. The converted files will have the same name with the extension '.UUE'.

  <options>:
     H    : put a section header to the beginning of every section  indicating
            the section number
     Lxxxx: create uuencoded sections of the maximum size of xxxx lines
     U    : turns on Unix mode on which means lines will end with a single  LF
            instead of CR+LF

  If you specify a maximum size for the uuencoded file then the binary file is
converted into several uuencoded sections. The section files have the name  of
the original file and the section number with leading zeros appended to it.



  ERROR MESSAGES:

  Invalid parameter: -XXX
    One of the switches specified in the parameter is invalid.
  Invalid number of lines per file
    The number of lines per file is too low (lower than  100),  the  resulting
    number of sections is too high (higher than 9999) or what you  entered  is
    not a number at all.
  FILENAME.EXT not found
    The specified files do not exist.
  Out of memory
    The program could not allocate buffers for the conversion. Try freeing  up
    memory by uninstalling some resident programs.
