Base64 encoding uses only these 64 characters for the encoded form, not restricting the input to only these.
It is used to properly (not securely) transport "binary" data through text based interfaces (e.g. email). So, base64 is not what I'm looking for. Thanks anyway. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
