The PlushCoder is an application designed to encode/decipher "Plush Codes". This is an off spring of the "Geek Code" of Usenet days. As with the original, the intent is to make a code that details one's personal information, and community involvement. This code being intended for the aficionados/collectors of plush animal dolls.

The PlushCoder allows the user to decrypt a plush code, either by copy/paste (if you see one on someone's web page) from a file, or entered manually. Likewise, it allows you to create a plush code by making selections from convenient drop-down menus. The code may also be edited manually to add new options.

PlushCoder is written with C++, and the FOX toolkit. One of FOX's advantages is that it uses straight C++, and so any FOX code will compile on any C++ compiler.

Since PlushCoder depends on the FOX libraries, the distribution includes the FOX tar.gz file, ready for installation. (See INSTALL for more detailed instruction.)
