+# uuencode: file(1) magic for ASCII-encoded files
+#
+
+# GRR: the first line of xxencoded files is identical to that in uuencoded
+# files, but the first character in most subsequent lines is 'h' instead of
+# 'M'. (xxencoding uses lowercase letters in place of most of uuencode's
+# punctuation and survives BITNET gateways better.) If regular expressions
+# were supported, this entry could possibly be split into two with
+# "begin\040\.\*\012M" or "begin\040\.\*\012h" (where \. and \* are REs).
+0 string begin\040 uuencoded or xxencoded text
