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