I'm posting this message on behalf of a programmer in India, where USENET isn't available. btoa and atob are a pair of filters for encoding from binary to ascii and back and are used to transmit binary files by mail. The code for btoa and atob, I believe, are in the public domain. Btoa (which converts from binary to ascii) compiles and runs correctly on our machines. Atob compiles but doesn't work. The problem seems to be with a right shift operation that Apollo's C compiler does differently. I'd appreciate your replying direct to G.M. Shenoy (shenoy%agni.uucp@uunet.uu.net, ...!uunet!shakti!agni!shenoy) who's asked me to post this message. thanks shankar subramanian (shankar@are.berkeley.edu)
