Well, there are loads of free Base64 encoder/decoders, for any system, including some online ones, plus lot of source code to make your own... BTW, I wonder why the SVG WG didn't choose ASCII Base-85, either as defined in RFC 1924 <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1924.html> or by Adobe itself for PostScript <http://www.lohninger.com/helpcsuite/encodeascii85.htm>, as this format is quite more compact. Of course, since these encodings use characters illegal in XML, it would have needed to alter the character set used, which is possible, or more simply to put the encoded data in a CDATA block (excluding ] from the Adobe encoding). -- Philippe Lhoste -- (near) Paris -- France -- http://Phi.Lho.free.fr -- For servers mangling my From and Reply-To fields, -- please send private answers to PhiLho(a)GMX.net -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
