This directory contains the documentation of the UUDeview Decoding Library programming interface. It is of interest only if you want to use the decoding/encoding functions from your own applications, and is not intended for users of the ready-made programs. The documentation is distributed in LaTeX format (requiring LaTeX version 2e). You can request Postscript and HTML formatted files from the author by email. Please understand that I cannot provide printed documentation. If you have LaTeX 2e installed, just run make to compile the text into a DVI file, which can be viewed with xdvi. Run 'make ps' to create a printable Postscript document. Even if you can't read the doc, you can take a look at the sample C files (they show the "evolution" of the "Trivial Decoder") to see how easy it is to include decoding support into your programs.
