XX34 is a binary-to-text encoding utility and format. It was developed by Guy McLoughlin.
Discussion
XX34 was sometimes used in the SWAG collection of Pascal source code (see SWG), to work around its requirement that each item be a single text file.
- For some info about using XX34 with SWAG, see swag9705.zip → READER.DOC, section named "XX3402 ENCODED FILES".
- Examples that use XX34: [1], [2], [3]
Identification
Encoded files are observed to begin with bytes 0d 0a 0d 0a 2a 58 58 33 34, which contains the string "*XX34".
Software
- XX34 v0.1
- XX34 v0.2 (DOS binary + source code)
