What is MooMooEncode?

"Okay, David, neat program, but what the heck is it good for?"

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 OХGara 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 С which does basically the same thing С 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.

"Okay, David, neat program, but what the heck is it good for?"

So, to answer the original question:  Umm.. can I get back to you on that one?  I'm still not too sure.
