Documentation --- Goal

The goal of this project is to provide the yEncode binary encoding algorithm for Usenet messages with a Java reference implementation. As a result of this statement the Java code is not and will not be optimized for speed or memory usage, but it will support all features found in the yEncode algorithm.

According to Sun's definition of a reference implementation (RI), a RI will promote the 'Write Once, Run Anywhere (tm)' standard. Hence, Yence will provide a 100% pure Java implementation.
