[comp.unix.questions] atob algorithm wanted

bak@csd_v.UUCP (Bruce) (12/24/87)

A few weeks ago I received a posting of an ascii encoded binary
for a version of arc that runs on micoport.  The decoding was
to be done via a program called "atob" for ascii to binary I suppose.

I've never seen this utility nor do any of my references refer to it.
Does anyone have either a source or a consice statement of the algorithm
please?

Thanks for any help in this.
