Description: File converter for transfer of arbitrary binary data via S&F
 7PLUS is an encoder vaguely similar to Unix's UUENCODE. It uses a very
 effective radix216 (UUENCODE: radix64) 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.
 .
 7PLUS is only a workaround for data corruption problems within the Packet
 Radio network. As soon as the network is made safe, 7PLUS will become
 obsolete. Where-ever possible, the use of binary transfers should be
 prioritized.
 .
 7PLUS doesn't use any fancy graphical user interface. Since many Packet
 Radio terminals softwares have built-in 7PLUS automation, a simple
 command-line interface is more than sufficient. Also this made the portation
 of 7PLUS to the many supported platforms possible in the first place, because
 command-line operation is the smallest common denominator for all platforms.
