7254721Semaste# GRR:  the first line of xxencoded files is identical to that in uuencoded
8254721Semaste# files, but the first character in most subsequent lines is 'h' instead of
9254721Semaste# 'M'.  (xxencoding uses lowercase letters in place of most of uuencode's
10254721Semaste# punctuation and survives BITNET gateways better.)  If regular expressions
11254721Semaste# were supported, this entry could possibly be split into two with
12254721Semaste# "begin\040\.\*\012M" or "begin\040\.\*\012h" (where \. and \* are REs).
