README for Kdecode 0.1
----------------------

This is the first release of Kdecode, a smart decoder for KDE.
It can handle base64, uuencode, xxencode and binhex attachments
and straight encoded files, both multipart and single part, multiple
attachments in a single file, attachments spread over several files,
you name it.

Of course that's not my merit, but the authors of the uulib.

To compile this, you need a recent kdesupport package (the ones that
contain uulib).

This was originally just a dialog in krn, but it was easy to turn it into
a fairly useful applet, so I did.

The interface is kinda minimalist, but it works:

You call it like

kdecode file1 file2 file3 .... file1475 .... filen

It will spew a heck of a lot of messages, and then open a window. No buttons
no toolbar, no menus, no nothing.

Each line is a file. If it has a red ball, it's incomplete. If it has a green
ball, it's ok. You can decode incomplete files, but the usefulness of the
result will vary according to the file type, etc.

If you see a file you like saved, double click on it, and you will get a
file-save dialog.

When you are done, press escape.

That's about it, so .... enjoy!
