problems with this.

a long way to go)

1.022 2021-01-11T06:59:31Z

* Completed the move from Travis CI to Github Actions
* The uudecode tool now has tests, and with the -o option can
send its output somewhere else, including stdout

many don't have tests beyond compilation. Let me know what breaks.
#75
* Most uses of indirect object notation are gone
#73 (thanks
to Ivan Ludvig)

1.011_01 2016-08-31T14:25:21Z

don't interfere with the real tools of the same name.
