# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
|
|
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
|
|
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
|
|
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
|
|
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
|
|
# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

7plus: 7PLUS (encoder vaguely similar to Unix's UUENCODE)
|
|
7plus:
|
|
7plus: It uses a very effective radix216 encoding and incorporates diverse
|
|
7plus: mechanisms to ensure decoded data is not corrupted. It also includes
|
|
7plus: an interactive repair mechanism which allows the repair of damaged
|
|
7plus: files using correction files, thus eliminating the need to retransmit
|
|
7plus: entire files. In case of a corruption, only the faulty sections are
|
|
7plus: resent. 7PLUS is only meant to be used within the Packet Radio network
|
|
7plus: for the tranport of binary data through Packet Radio mail. It cannot
|
|
7plus: be used for Internet eMail since it needs a (almost) transparent path
|
|
7plus: from end to end."
