			Copyright of mewencode

'mewencode' conforms GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2. It's a
medley of three free softwares.

(1) Main routine is imported from GNU gzip.
(2) Gzip execution function is imported from GNU tar.
(3) Base64 and quoted-printable routine is imported from mmencode of
MetaMail.

Since both GNU gzip and GNU tar conform GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, mewencode shares it. MetaMail's copyright is as follows;

****************************************************************

Note: 'mmencode' can be used for a subcommand of Mew. But I implemented
mewencode for three reasons;

(a) To make it possible for users to install Mew without MetaMail.
(b) To share GNU command option conformance.
(c) To support Gzip64 encoding .
