111This module started as an interface to the uulib/uudeview library by Frank
112Pilhofer that can be used to decode all kinds of usenet (and other)
113binary messages.
114
115After upstream abondoned the project, th library was continuously bugfixed
116and improved in this module, with major focuses on security fixes,
117correctness and speed (that does not mean that this library is considered
118safe with untrusted data, but it surely is safer than the poriginal
119uudeview).
