I'm trying to document the variations of uuencode format,
and would like to acknowledge the various authors.
Here is what I've figured out; if there are errors could someone let me know?

The original version was written by someone at Berkeley.
It was enhanced with an "encoding table" and the ability
to restore missing trailing blanks to avoid problems over RSCS.
I believe this is called the Dumas version.
It was further enhanced to optionally split the output by JPHD.
Does anyone know the full name of these authors,
or of any other enhancements to the "standard".

I'll be posting a portable version of the enhanced version
with full documentation in the future.
