This is version 1.2 of BSC, the UNIX and VMS BinSCII encoder.

This version began as a "maintainance release" when I found out that the
previous version wouldn't compile on Ultrix.  Apparently a badly-chosen
variable name was conflicting with a routine in the Ultrix C library.  I
renamed the variable, and the problem seems to have gone away.

I've also added a new command-line option (-o) which makes it possible to
save the output files under a different name than the input file.

The major change in this version is the documentation--I turned the old
docs.unix file into a genuine UNIX man page.  There is also a man page for
the BinSCII format, in case anybody's interested in how bsc works.

Enjoy.
