How to encode yEnc?

Thread view: 
Scirious - 25 May 2006 20:36 GMT
People, many of you may not know what yEnc is. To simplify, it is a methode
to encode binary files very used in Usenet because it creates an overhead
of only 2% when compare to 33%-40% of overhead created by other methos such
as UUencode, base64...

However, every code example I so was in C and using unsigned numbers.
Actually, I've found one example in Java, but just for decode, not for
encode. Are there anyone who knows how to help me?

For more info on yEnc you can visit http://www.yenc.org

Thanks,
Scirious.

There ia a product called JYEnc. I guess you could check their code to
see how it works.

Nope :( Same here... Just to let you know I feel your pain and if I find
anything I will let you know. I also have the decoder but not the encoder

Chris, have you read yEnc specs? When we see those codes example they use
unsigned numbers, but I'm no sure why. The specs doesn't say anything about
the need to use unsigned numbers.

Yeah, I tried both int, byte and combination of all ... :( I managed to
encode something... but apparently it was not good :(

The issue I got was some kind of 'InputReader' or 'InputStream' issue :(
Associated with Codepage... I was ading the 42 but then , suddenly the char
was not valid...

I gave up... :(

information.
