                           Using the UUENCODE feature


     GoldED contains  a built-in  uuencode feature,  which is  available
     when importing a file in the internal editor.

     To uuencode a file while  importing it, simply put a  '#' character
     in front of the filename.

        Example: #WHATEVER.ZIP    - Will import as:

          begin 644 WHATEVER.ZIP
          [uuencoded data]
          end

     NOTE: This is a very  simple implementation of uuencode. It  cannot
     split large files over several  messages. The file mode number  644
     is hard-coded and has nothing to do with the actual file mode.

     WARNING: Due to memory constraints, the standard 16-bit DOS version
     of GoldED  is usually  not able  to deal  with messages much larger
     than  about  10-16k.  You  can  very  quickly  reach that size when
     uuencoding files. For this reason, you should not use this  feature
     unless you are running one of the 32-bit versions (DOS-386, OS/2 or
     Win32).

     GoldED currently only supports the uuencoding type, not MIME Base64
     or other encodings.
