It sure sounds like it would be trivial to write, once you learn what the encoding algorithm is.

DA Norton posted a package called DANtools perhaps a year ago. It includes atob, btoa, cal, cat, chmod, compress, detab, dump, entab, head, pr, swchar, tail, touch, udate, uudecode, uuencode Are you there, Mr. Norton? Would you repost your package?

I am trying to port atob, btoa, and compress. I am going to ignore the
normal compress mode "compress file" because MS-DOS filenames are too
limited to work reasonably, and just have the program act as a filter. I
got atob and btoa working in a bizarre mode (I had to cross compile one
from Xenix and the other on MSC5, neither would work when compiled the
other way).
I hope to get this out this week, otherwise look for it around Christmas
when I take my vacation.
