I'm looking for other parties interested in writing a coding package for FSF.
I've already written a (255,249,7) Reed - Solomon encoder and decoder
(for the curious, that means it will correct three byte errors in a block of
255 bytes).  What I envision is a replacement for uuencode and uudecode,
which adds in a bit of redundancy for transmitting compressed images via
USENET.  I'm particularly looking for someone who can write a decent 
user front end.  Interested parties should send me email.
