[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] BinHex - uuencode XFCN

Has anyone ever written a XFCN that does the binary to ascii encoding/decoding
of the style found in BinHex and 'uuencode' ? I think it would be very handy
when interfacing stacks using the full Mac character set (including foreign
text) to the 7-bit world of network mailers. In its simplest form it would just
encode (or decode) the text of a field. It should not be very difficult to
do the 3 to 4 byte encoding/decoding, but has some kind soul done this already?
