Allow me to explain. A long, long time ago, on the USENET group
"alt.cows.moo.moo.moo" (ask your friendly neighborhood SysAdmin for it
today!) Sean O?Gara posted a program he wrote to translate regular
text into Moos. In a fit of silliness he named it after the UNIX
uuencode program and so called it moomooencode.
I ran across the code one fine day, and since I was about to take a
class in C++ at the time, I decided to write my own version of
moomooencode in C++. (Nothing like learning the subject material
before you take the class.)
(Incidentally, you can see the improvement in the file-handling
capabilities of the languages: the C++ version I wrote ? which does
basically the same thing ? is about 60% smaller than the original.)
This sat around on my hard drive for a while until one day, in a fit
of either boredom or extreme silliness, I decided to make good on my
threat to my friends, and write a whole Mac application, which, dear
reader, you now have.

So, to answer the original question: Umm.. can I get back to you on
that one? I'm still not too sure.
DL #1 MooMooEncode v1.7
DL #2 MooMooEncode v1.5
Compatibility
Architecture: 68k
This program does require System 7 to run, because of some of the more
recent file routines I used, but nowadays that isn't too much of a
problem.
If you have the Thread Manager installed, MooMooEncode will use it,
but it is not required. Of course, without it you can only process one
file at a time.
Similarly, if you have Macintosh Easy Open installed, you can open
pretty much any file from pretty much any source. Again, it's not
required, but it's awfully neat.
