1. Introduction
---------------

The mimeconv is binary mail encode/decode program that is running under
       1. Linux
       2. HP-UX
       3. MS-Windows95/NT

Mimeconv is free software. See the file LICENSE for the details.
Basically, you can do anything with it, except claim that you wrote it.

2. COMPILATION
--------------

You can install following OS:

      Linux version 1.2.13 or above
      HP-UX 9.05 or above
      Windows95 or Windows NT (only VC+ 2.x or 4.x)

  And you maybe work to other major OS.
  If you tried, please give me report !

To build mimeconv, 1st, Edit a Makefile. This Makefile is for GCC. If your
compile is not GCC, you must edit, and then a "make ; make install".
Makefile.win is Makefile for VC+'s nmake.exe. Makefile.win copy to Makefile,
and then a "nmake ; nmake install".


3. How to use
---------------

     Syntax: mimeconv [<opts>] [<filename>]
     Option:
          -o <file name>    output to file name(use 1st)
          -e <file name>    encode file name
          -d <file name>    decode file name
                                            
     Example:
        "mimeconv -d FILE"              decode FILE, outfile is auto select *1
        "mimeconv -o FILE1 -d FILE2"    decode FILE2 and out to 'FILE1'
        "mimeconv -e FILE"              encode FILE and out to 'stdout'
        "mimeconv -o FILE1 -e FILE2"    encode FILE2 and out to 'FILE1'

*1  If the mimeconv find 'Content-Type: Name=<File>', output file is 'FILE'.
