uuencode name-in-uuencoded-file <real-file >uuencoded-file

ex:

to uuencode game.lzh:

	uuencode game.lzh <game.lzh >game.lzh.UU

the first parameter is what uuencode sticks in the uuencoded file 
as the name to uudecode it as. This can be anything, but should reflect
what the file is :-)

uuencode then reads stdin, uuencodes, and writes to stdout.
