- # 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."
