How to use

This sample is a console application that takes at least one parameter (the source file name) to perform decoding. The sample's command-line usage specifications are:

Decode [options] input_file [output_file]

The parameters between brackets are optional. The option parameter can be used to specify the encoding method and if the decoding should continue if it encounters invalid data. If omitted, these options are set to UUEncoding and No respectively. If the output file name is omitted, the decoded output is sent to the screen.
